Feelin’ good (but bored of mp3’s)…
Francine McGee - Feelin’ Good (MP3)

D-percussion invasion…
venus gang - love to fly (mp3)
most of our manchester based readers should know that it’s the wonderful d-percussion festival over the weekend - the last one ever apparently…

la belle epoque - miss broadway (mp3)
herman’s rocket - space woman (mp3)

Something for the weekend…
don ray - standing in the rain (mp3)
in manchester we are used to the odd shower or two. so, with the bank holiday weekend upon us, and a decent free street festival to go to, you would hope that the gods might actually favour us for a change. unfortunately not, the lovely dianne oxberry, […]

t-coy - de me mas (mp3)
chico chico - bamboleo (spanish summer mix) (mp3)
