Best night at MIF. The Orielles and Working Mens Club. Both great bands.

Stealing Sheep at MIF19

So I crossed another thing off my bucket list this week. The ever awesome @maryannehobbs invited me to do a mini mix and interview on her live @bbc6music @mifestival show broadcasting from Festival Square. I had so much fun with the whole team. Definitely one to tell my nieces and nephews grand kids ... 🥰😍😂🌈🔥🍀🍀🍀 Listen back on the following link. It’s a two hour show and I am on at the beginning of the second half. Hope you like the mix - every track marks a chapter in my Manchester / international DJ story. Enjoy. And feel free to leave a comment. Huge thanks to @missemmagibbs for the amazing photos!! https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m0006tr8 . . . . . . . #onair #radio #bbc6music #mif19 #manchesterinternationalfestival #festivalsquare #maryannehobbs #suffragette100 #sheroes #blackgirlmagic #blackgirlsslay (at Festival Square) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0IraWWgnhd/?igshid=12xlg2qjti756

Had a sneak preview of David Lynch’s wonderful My Head Is Disconnected exhibit at @HOMEmcr yesterday, as part of @MIFestival. It’s a free exhibition and well worth checking out, if you get the chance. #LynchAtHOME #MIF19 #davidlynch #myheadisdisconnected (at HOMEmcr) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bzi_dHShVib/?igshid=myoaksjh6ql9

I have been a fan of Janelle Monae for ... well let’s just say my Stan status is platinum. So you can imagine how I screamed when I was told I got the gig to support one of the best live performers, entertainers, artists, musicians, actors in the world today. This is no hyperbole. If you saw her at the Academy you KNOW she smashed it. If you saw her at (or on) Glastonbury it was like the coronation of a true Queen. So Castlefield Bowl - I’m coming for you. House of Ghetto are bringing the dance realness. And Janelle Monae will be giving us pure feels for the rest of our born days. It’s sold out. If you go, you go, when you know, you know ... . . . . . . #janellemonae #mif19 #castlefieldbowl #djpaulette #houseofghetto #djs #livemusic #soldout #dancers #blackgirlmagic #lgbt #lgbtq #blackwomenrock (at Castlefield Bowl) https://www.instagram.com/p/BzbRuSYg6oD/?igshid=9wi3ccba50q7
