Feature // Manchester Reborn #8

Apologies for not posting in a while, y'all should know by now that this is out of character for a writer such as myself but as I'm sure you will all understand, exams and end-of-year deadlines are rife at the moment! Apart from visiting family away, ridiculously good send-offs, inappropriate interviews and- as per- partying too hard (Blame the Girl Unit set I shot, below...), my latest Manchester Reborn column revolves around Salford's very own Sounds From The Other City Festival that is upcoming for this bank holiday Sunday! The event looks fabulous with various promoters, local heroes and national favourites all along one street; Sunday Roast spots and Chat Roulette after-parties included! See you down the front, if I make it through covering Liverpool Sound City this weekend that is- come say Hi to the Artrocker team if you spy any of us around this weekend! See you on the other side...

Feature // Manchester Reborn

Good evening! I'm now a Manchester correspondent for Artrocker Magazine, isn't that nice? For my first feature, I wrote about how the city and more specifically, Salford in its own right (REPRESENT!) is providing itself as the perfect DIY hub for the creatives of Manchester today. I discussed the cult Fuhrer Bunker venue (pictured below) and Sways Records along with mini-reviews of Great Waves and M O N E Y's work- you can read it over here!

Don't worry guys, I'm alive- freshers week didn't quite kill me off (although I did gain my second facial injury of the year, UGH)! I've been reuniting with everyone via corndog catch-ups, visits to friends' wonderful new apartments and working even harder, so much so that I swear I'll be glad to finally get back to uni! Also, Wednesday's #VICElaunch for The Weird Science Issue was super fun thanks to Girls on Film playing non-stop Madonna and Prince along with Lil Silva dropping Zomby to a load of confused first-years- oh and shoutout to Bench for the free drinks and giveaways! Last night, I also finally caught Dan Deacon live (Dent May supported too and he even did the infamous tunnel into the streets of Salford ♡) at one of my favourite venues ever involving Budvar and dance-offs; it was beautiful, no-one rocks a show like this man- some snaps are below! It's bloody good to be back, interviews coming soon!
