East Manchester Festival 2008

East Manchester Festival held at the Grange was part of Refugee Week, the event was organised by Rainbow Haven and held on a wet saturday (21-06-08). The day was well attended and spirits were high even though the weather tried to dampen them.

Some events had to be cancelled due to the weather but it did not seem to put people off.

Highlights for me were Bloco Novo playing the drums and Unity Radio doing the Graffiti, the food looked good but I could not get near it, i was too busy.

My only gripe regarding the event was not enough interactive things for people to do, and would have liked to have seen more music and dance, especially from different cultures. That's just a personal view, otherwise not a bad day all things considered.

For anyone interested in the music used in the making of this video.
