On the Saturday around 35,000 people watched Steel Pulse, Buzzcocks, Exodus and China Street after a massive ANL RAR march through Manchester.

We had to complete the build of the stage early for the Thursday the 13th as Graham Parker wanted to rehearse for his forthcoming support slot at the Blackbushe concert with Dylan on the Saturday- we took all the stage and backstage compound and generators and PA from Alexandra Park up to Deeply Vale after the RAR concert on the 15th July at Alexandra Park
