Music & Dance

The 2010 Festival promises to showcase some of Chorlton's and, indeed, Manchester's finest musicians. From acoustic singer-songwriters, plugged-in rock bands and upbeat contemporary folk groups to dance workshops and a foot-stomping ceilidh, there will be music styles to suit every taste. There's a dedicated music tent, an indoor dance space and even a solar- and wind-powered soundsystem blasting out green tunes throughout the day.
