Seems to be the month for compliments. 2020 is looking like it’s going to be a pretty special year.
Today – on Thursday 19th of July – I get the chance to tick β something else off my bucket list when I appear as a guest on Mary Anne Hobbs @bbc6music Outside Broadcast for the @mifestival. Sheβll be broadcasting live from Festival Square from 10am and Iβll be in studio around mid-day. I’ll be ‘live’ in the mix too …
Friday July 5th – Festival Square has its big reveal, transforming Albert Square into an oasis of cool when it opens for 16 days of the best live music, great djs, food and drink and the big-hearted, warm, welcoming vibes that Manchester to offer (and has built its historic reputation upon). I am beyond giddy to be an integral part of the line up for the launch day / night’s spectacular party programme.
For the duration of the Manchester International Festival, Albert Square will be transformed into Festival Square, the home of the Festival in the heart of the city. Free live music and DJs, great food and drink, MIF tickets and more β open noon till late daily, 5β21 July, and always absolutely free.
