Only The Longcut, Wu Lf Wu Lf and Frazer King are worth anybody's time. This all-dayer was such a mess - people working the event either drunk or on drugs, some truly abysmal laddish bands playing no-brain muzak to people who only enjoy music when there's a catchy slogan chanted at them during a football match. The Longcut ploughed through their set despite truly terrible sound, yet were easily the best band of the day. There's more to Manchester's music scene than that sorry excuse of a festival.
