Has it really been a year since the last Manchester Punk Festival? Not quite, due to the wandering nature of the Easter Bank Holiday, this year it’s taking place in March rather than somewhere in April. I’ve never understood why this particular holiday wanders around the calendar, maybe it’s because I have no religious affiliation whatsoever, whatever the reason I hope Jesus doesn’t see his shadow as I could do without six more weeks of winter, that’s it right? We are heading into Manchester City Centre in our big coats at the tail end of Winter for three days of the finest and noisiest bands the DIY and independent punk scenes have to offer. On the plus side, we haven’t had to wait for twelve months, on the negative, it’s not exactly warm and next years incarnation is probably over a year...
