General
Islington Mill is a former cotton spinning mill in Salford, very close to Manchester’s city centre. Unlike much of Manchester's industrial heritage which has been converted into loft apartments, Islington Mill is now home to over 50 artists studios, two art galleries a recording studio and club space. It’s one of the few creative spaces in Salford, and has evolved over ten years to become the cultural haven that it is now. It all started in 1994 when Bill Campbell, returned home to Salford after studying fashion at Central St Martin’s. He found an abandoned mill opposite his council flat and subsequently saved, begged and borrowed to buy the place in 2001.Music
The club space started out in 2005, when numerous friends around the Mill threw the first of many weird and wonderful events, including the rebirth of Club Brenda (www.myspace.com/clubbrenda). Gradually, the Mill started to entertain more and more impromptu gigs and parties, until it became a fixture on the underground club kids calendar, and a band favourite: Fire Engines, The Whip, Clark, The Thermals, Mayming, Ariel Pink, No Age, Anni Rossi, Biting Tongues,Ex-Models, Simon Joyner, The Nightingales, Agaskodo Teliverek, Koen Holtkamp, The Earlies, Alexander Robotnick, Atlas Sound, Magic Arm, Earth, Olafur Arnalds, Triclops, Will Guthrie, Pausal, Drums of Death, Elvis, Diane Cluck, White Magic, Acid Mothers Temple, Cylob, and Ghost have been amongst the guests.Movies
The Salford Film Festival was recently held in November, and the Festival helped celebrate the best of Salford; its community, heroes and triumphs. The screenings are free and are held in the Lowry and Salford Arts Theatre, and are designed to showcase the raw talent that comes from Salford. Dont miss out on next year's event. Visit the website for more details /www.salfordfilmfestival.org.ukBooks
Islington Mill has recently launched its own arts library located within the building. If anyone would like to donate any books, please let us know!

Trespassers William (Seattle, US) are the duo of Matt Brown and Anna-Lynne Williams. "Subliminally sublime and pragmatically perfect, you would have to possess an ashtray for a heart not to feel this coursing through your soul" (DSD Music Magazine). A new EP, The Natural Order of Things, is set to be released on Gizeh Records. They will make a church performance with special guests.
Glissando (Sheffield, UK) “have the kind of atmosphere that can captivate and relax in equal measure- never before has tranquillity sounded so urgent. While track lengths of over 10 minutes may fail to hold the attention of the ADHD sufferers among us, with patience it plays like a majestic dream. And it's one you'll never want to wake up from." NME
Operations (Chris Anderson) is a Manchester based conceptual music producer and sound artist. He performs and records with an array of analog synths and effects, reel-to-reel tape and casette players, and guitars. Followers of Tim Hecker, Slowdive, Fennesz, Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Stephen O'Malley, Type and 12K Records will surely nod in approval.
