TONIGHT IN MANCHESTER: FUTURE SOUNDS INVADES IN THE CITY

After stomping around Manchester for an evening seeing what everyone else is putting out, I'm even more excited about the line up that's playing this evening at Cellar Vie because I think we have some bands that aren't on everyone's radar yet but have the potential to really make an impact. We also got a great set of cards handed us by ITC when they made our showcase in the venue that's closest to the conference hotel.

We've set up a page where you can taste test all the acts playing the showcase here>
