6th April 2012_SoundsXP Turns 10_All-dayer festival?
SoundsXP, an online independent music webzine, has now been around for 10 years - and has outlived Osama Bin Laden, Katie Price's authorial career and Viva Brother. We were even around in the time long ago when Manchester City were skint. We're celebrating this anniversary with another Good Friday Good Taste all-day musical spectacular and we're mightily pleased with the line up. The music will start at 4pm, with DJs in between gigs and a £FREE BBQ for all from 6pm.
