Thursday 4th September – Clare & The Reasons
This Brooklyn-based multi-instrumental collective, fronted by Clare Muldaur Manchon, deliver a truly
harmonious brand of jazz-infused orchestral pop. Think along the lines of quiet/loud guitar virtuoso
St. Vincent (who they recently supported on tour), with a full backing band instead of a loop pedal!

New Islington Urban Folk Festival 2008
The second New Islington Urban Folk Festival might seem a little like a marketing man's idea
of what upwardly mobile Mancunians want, but it is free and if the sun puts in an appearance it
mightn't be too bad. There's a knitting circle and yarn bombing, plus the lovely Sketch City people
pimping mini barges. Music-wise it's pretty predictable, but there are a few hidden gems including The Jesse Rose
Trip who proffer gentle folky nu-jazz, nowhere near as vile as it sounds.
