The nominees

Cohesion Live

A festival in a Mancunian park at the end of September? We might have been expecting rain and dullness but what we got was a raft of brilliant bands and melting ice-creams from the sunshine!

Dpercussion

Bigger, faster, more… Castlefield on a summer’s day was once more made extra special as against the odds, Dpercussion managed not only to happen but be one of the best ever!

Manchester v Cancer

From Andy Rourke’s brain to the MEN stage, Manchester v Cancer was always going to be a winner, but with so many Manc music superstars involved, who could have realised how good it would be?

Sounds From The Other City II

Across the Irwell once again, last year’s half-thought-out idea for a festival grew into itself for a long-drinking, pub-cramming, ear-belting wonder of a Salford day back in May.

That Manchester

A selection of Manchester’s newest and hottest bands, all bundled together behind the resolute brilliance of The Longcut and stuffed into one long Sunday.
