Calvin Party from Manchester, have just released their 4th album 'GODARD'S GIRLFRIEND'. They make a cantankerous, melodic music" that's difficult to pin down or comfortably slot into a box.
Their sound veers from slow, dark, heartfelt acoustic numbers through to fast, intense, guitar-driven abrasive pieces. There's elements of Northern England 'Americana' in there, strains of indie-blues, alt-folk, a medley of musical contradictions ....
Circus at the Rocket is going from strength to strength. This year Invisible Circus and InterStella are programming the outdoor stage and the cabaret tent with a huge variety of acts from the UK, Spain and the rest of Europe. The Rocket is proud to present and support the traditional circus and performing arts in and their modern interpretations. In an increasingly electronic world, face to face communication between performers and their audience is a poignant moment of contact not available from the web or a playstation.
