Posted by Editor on 25th August 2010 at 02:22 PM Video: Salford Music Festival - the latest
by Tony Flynn
We caught up with Ed Blaney the organiser of The Salford Music Festival where he gave us the latest news on the event.
Originally the plan was for the festival to be in Buile Hill park following the Salford Proms in the Park.
However an estimated cost of £270,000 plus the fact that one of the main sponsors pulled out put an end to that plan.
The so-called fringe events will take place in pubs scattered throughout Salford including, The Kings Arms, Weaste Hotel, The Crescent, The White Horse, The Town Hall, Eccles and The Plough, Cadishead.
Over sixty bands will be playing throughout the three days of the 9th - 12th September, just to name a few are, The Planets, Death To The Strange, The Kinetic, Hanky Park, Pearl Divers, Dark Angel, Monkeys in Love, and a host more.
On the Sunday evening the 12th the big event will be Manchester meets Salford Mainstage at The Ritz ballroom, Whitworth Street, where the main attractions will be The Fall, The Salford Jets, Girl Peculiar, Lowline, AAAK, Trigger Happy, Dave Sharp and 1913.
If that is not enough for you there will be DJ sets from Terry Christian, Clint Boon and Dermo from Northside.
Tickets cost £15 and will gain you admittance to any of the above events.
So it's hats off to Ed for pulling of this event despite all the obstacles he has had to overcome to bring this to fruition.

One Team, One Dream, stop the bickering true sons and daughters of Salford, and get behind any Salfordian who chooses to get out off this s*** hole via music or for that matter any God given talent except slagging and bullying other Salfordians. Yours Rev Whicher. |

Comment by Guest 30th September 2010
yer! It would be great if everybody in Salford said "yer!" But it wont happen cos theres only one simpleton who says that. And Mark E Smith smells. And he's only adored by mongs and autistics and Ed. Yer. |

i know simon and brian from the inflictors and there not idiots,why dont you say that to there face, they dont even look at sites like this ,and have nothing to do with any of this mud chucking.grow up ed sorry rick..... |
Comment by Guest 25th September 2010
The inflictors are average, good musicians, there are many great bands in Salford and Eccles |
Comment by Guest 25th September 2010
You all sound really pathetic and you are embarrasing Salford. At least it was a start in the right direction. Blainey is no idiot, he has gutts and balls and a record deal. How many of you have one? Hanky park rocked the ritz and shinny does a lot for charity. So shut up and grow up. Barry . Irlam |

Mr herring did not want to play. Mistake on his part. |
Comment by Guest 25th September 2010
The inflictors haha the singer is good and the drummer is from Salford, joey salmon legend, he also has worked with blainey, you are just gutted that Ed pulled it off in the real way and most of the other bands you mention on here did not ask to play, Simon and Bryan from the inflictors are idiots and will never do anything other than smoke and drink. This is Salford . Not Eccles . The townhall took part and had a great turn out. Wangies is a good pub and so are the others mentioned on here they all put on good gigs and pay the bands. The kings arms fig was great. Monkeys in love were ace. Rick. Salford born and bred. |

must agree uncle rotter are like a breath of fresh air go and see em |
Comment by Guest 18th September 2010
Uncle Rotter are amazing, really refreshing and energetic. Went watching them at Oddies. Their show was fantastic. Everyone on their feet, dancing and singing along. |
Comment by Guest 13th September 2010
This was a fiasco not a festival. Edache Blainey promised so much and delivered very little. Even the Fall gig was marred by a really bad PA system. Also the Salford Gets were not worthy of being on the same stage as the Fall. The Inflictors are the best live band in Salford by a mile. I saw them and they are real kick ass stuff. |

Got on the bus wiv me daysaver. |
Comment by Guest 12th September 2010
The Inflictors were stunning on thursday night at Kings Arms, and having to go on following the idiot Ed Blaney who proceeded to abuse the crowd and throw a table and also a punch at members of the audience, because Girl Peculiar's set was cut short for one song and he wasn't even on the stage. This left a very bitter taste in my mouth which thankfully, was overcome by the brilliant Inflictors, who stole the show and the night. At least Salford still has some talent to offer. |
Comment by Guest 11th September 2010
uncle rotter quality musicians not like the never beens,which are playing,suchas the fall,legends in their own dinner time |
Comment by Guest 10th September 2010
Uncle Rotter are garbage, silly old blokes playing glam/shock rock, turn it in, go and see a decent band loads of them on here. |
Comment by Guest 10th September 2010
this sun the oddies UNCLE ROTTER you have been warned |
Comment by Guest 10th September 2010
dont you mean james herring |
Comment by Guest 10th September 2010
Where is John Hering on this line up, top singer/songwriter and from Salford unlike a lot of the bands on the bill. |
Comment by Guest 8th September 2010
not at genuine established music venues like wangies/the oddies/staff of life,hanky park give me a break even worse than the salford jets,and that is a statement |
Comment by Guest 8th September 2010
No Black Knights, Sandbox, Shanty Town, Riff Raff, Kingfishers Catch Fire, yet still space for Sweeney and the dreadful Salford Jets, yeah right. |
Comment by Guest 3rd September 2010
The Cloths would be like a breath of fresh air at the concert. |
Comment by Guest 3rd September 2010
What! no Touching Cloth!!!.How dare you call it "Salford" without a Gig from the boys, I know that they would drop everything and come back from Hamburgh tomorrow,or is it that certain so called Muscians are scared that the cloths would blow them off stage, |
Comment by Guest 2nd September 2010
I,ve heard that it is £15 for the fringe shows but another £15 for the Fall at the Ritz, is this right? |
Comment by Guest 1st September 2010
Not really a festival more like a load of random gigs. The Walkden one was a proper festival |
Comment by Guest 31st August 2010
None of your acts appearing then Ed, apart from yourself and a few others.....Yawn. |
Comment by Guest 31st August 2010
