Video: Friends of Mine Festival
The Cribs and Emmy The Great interviewed backstage
Although considered the music capital of the nation, Manchester has been a black spot on the festival calendar for far too long. So, after several years as a successful club night, Friends of Mine branched out this summer into greener pastures around 100 acres to be precise.
Kicking off the action on the main stage on Saturday was Emmy the Great who performed material from their second album Virtue. We caught up with frontwoman Emma Moss and bassist Euan Hinshelwood before they went on.
Later we were lucky enough to grab some time with Saturday’s headliners, The Cribs’ Ryan Jarman. One of the biggest acts to grace the festival, the Wakefield trio, who were once dubbed “the biggest cult band in the UK” by Q Magazine, are back on the road after a nine month break.
