Just back, and it was wonderful! The Saturday evening concert in the Marine Hall was just amazing - John Wright Band, Niamh Parsons and Graham Dunne, Roy Bailey and Waterson Carthy. Fantastic!

And we really enjoyed Mark Dowding and Chris Harvey's Manchester Ballads - if you get the chance to listen, then do! A very emotional journey which takes you back to life in and around Manchester 200 years ago.

Well done Alan and team!
