BLOGGER EXCHANGE // A Weekend Away to Manchester's #HotelOfMusic

When an invite from Radisson Blu Edwardian hotel group dropped into our inbox inviting us to spend a weekend in Manchester for their 10^th anniversary to find out about the city’s iconic music scene we simply couldn’t wait to hop on a train and head for the north. Our resident presenter, Clare Harrison, set out to learn more about ‘Madchester’ and the hotel’s long history with music.

Y Not Festival // Live Review & Video

Y Not Festival is fast becoming one of the UK’s best boutique festivals. Set in the Derbyshire countryside, the festival now in its 8^th year has been awarded Best Small Festival 2012 and Best Toilets Award (we kid you not), and with a line-up as impressive as this year’s then it’s no surprise it once again sold out in advance.

Est.1987 headed out to the country to bring you all the action from the site. To read our review and watch an exclusive behind the scenes of the festival click below…
