Manifesto Presents - The Summer Festivals Manifesto - Saturday 27th June

We're back at The Vauxhall Griffin on Saturday 27th June from 8pm for The Summer Festivals Manifesto ... please join us for music, cider but no mud ...

The Alternative Eurovision Manifesto - Setlist

Thanks to all of you who forwent the joys of the seaside to join us over the Bank Holiday weekend for our Alternative Eurovision Manifesto. Genuine, high quality (for once) Apple Schnapps and Chocolate Euros hopefully compensated for a slight fail on the big screen front, which should be back up and running for next month’s Summer Festivals Manifesto.

DJ Bid-Up pushed the theme to it’s limits with Welsh & Scottish entries included in a wonderfully varied set, whilst Another Guy Called Gerald kept it mostly indie with some esoterica/nonsense thrown in.

Manifesto returns to the Vauxhall Griffin on Saturday 27th June, Glastonbury weekend, to pay homage to the great British Summer Festival without the unpredictability of the great British Summer. With monsoons predicted for Glastonbury, join us instead as we attempt to recreate the entire Glastonbury experience from the Jazz World Stage via the John Peel Stage to the Pyramid Stage headliners, all within the confines of the Vauxhall Griffin … minus the mud … but including the cider.

So back to Saturday 27th May … excuse any typos this month … some of these band names are tricky and we’d had a few apple schnapps when we wrote them down!
