There is always a certain level of trepidation when a beloved 90s cult classic is brought to the stage, how do you translate that cinematic sense into a live performance?

Welcome To Screen Manchester: Where Creative Journeys Are Born Breaking into the Film & Television Industry has never been an easy journey except for a very lucky few who were born with the right connections.

Despite many not knowing Haiden at the start he was able to captivate the fans throughout his set. With amazing melodies, vocals and energy Haiden won over the heart of the fans who had made their way to the show early enough to catch his set.

Known for favouring intimate venues, Barnett once again proved why these settings suit her best—her Aussie quick wit, dry humour and storytelling filling the room with ease.

The narrative jumps through past and present, gradually revealing the events that have led to Asia

It is ancient yet academic, industrial yet artisanal, and while its history is etched into every blackened gritstone block, its energy is undeniably fresh. To spend 24 hours here is to navigate a labyrinth of Georgian terraces and secret alleyways, discovering a place that feels like a well-kept secret the rest of the UK hasn't quite stumbled upon yet. Afternoon: The High Ground The best way to understand Lancaster is to loo
