I hate hot weather – I can’t concentrate and hayfever pretty much incapacitates me – so logically I’m dead against global warming. These people are too, and they’re doing something about it:

As a retort to multi-million pound, jet set rock stars (see Wembley stadium for details) this Garden City Social is a Climate Camp fundraiser special!

Featuring: Salty Doggg and Waverton Collective in an electroacoustic sound mash up; DeFunkles (fresh off the back of releasing his new EP, expect a storming set); Huckleberry Sound System (banjo-twanging DJ sounds) plus poetry and god knows what else…

Expect drink and snacks, all provided by those nice people from the Climate Camp.

What’s particularly interesting about this event, from 8pm til midnight on Saturday 7 July, is the venue – the Yard Theatre in Hulme. Ever heard of it? Me neither. And, better still, it’s apparently opposite the Junction, which is possibly the strangest pub I’ve visited in Manchester.
