MANCHESTER GIGS IN MUSIC: March 2010 Pt.1

There doesn't seem to be a single day this March without a good gig happening in Manchester. I could easily have made at least a second if not third mixtape out of the rich material on offer. But somehow have managed to limit myself to 70 minutes. Link to mixtape [70 mins/ 79 MB] in the post following - enjoy. And if that wasn't enough read on for info on the Steve Gullick rock photography exhibition.
