Good For The Soul

Set in 1974, Stoke On Trent, SoulBoy tells the story of 17 year-old Joe McCain and his quest to bring some excitement into his life. A backdrop of power cuts, trouble on the football terraces, and coach trips to all-nighters at The Wigan Casino.

Good for the Soul will be returning to the Wickerman festival on the 23rd & 24th July to play on the Funkademia outdoor stage.

If you want to take a small stroll from Mancunia and dancing out in a field is your thing then you could do no better than heading to the Beatherder festival in the Ribble Valley (north of Burnley for you non map readers). Hedonism stripped right down to its underpants!

Hungry Pigeon The Northern Quarter festival is back, and bigger and better for 2010. This year the event is taking place on the last May Bank Holiday weekend from Friday 28th to Sunday 30th May.

Animal Collective, who formed in Baltimore and are now based New York, are a collection of avant-garde musicians consisting of Avey Tare (David Portner), Panda Bear (Noah Lennox), Deakin (Josh Dibb) and Geologist (Brian Weitz).

Horse Meat Disco return with another killer album of tried and tested underground disco, Italo and rarities that have been rocking crowds from their base in Vauxhall, London, to dancefloors worldwide. DJ gig this week in Manchester.
