Celebrate the opening of this year’s festival in conjunction with Freedom Principle and Sketch City with a feast for the ears. This selection of Mancunian urban jazz and DJs features loopy grooves from Cinematic Orchestra guitarist Stuart McCallum with guest flautist Finn Peters and vocalist Heidi Vogel; the up-and-coming, intense and energetic Chris Illingworth Trio; and experimental grooves from the 14-piece electronics-big band fusions of BPBB. Jazz, funk and world beats from DJs Ryan Hunn and Jonny Dub (Sketch City/Hoya:Hoya) top and tail the night.
