Music, art, poetry and stuff – that’s what MAPS is all about. Stuff, artistic stuff, musical stuff, creative and happy stuff.

The festival’s aim is to support and promote music, art and creativity in the Northern Quarter, and in Manchester as a city, through promotion, enjoyment and involvement of the public in the wide variety of activities encountered in the area.

Alongside some of Manchester BEST musical maestros, a variety of clubs, bars and eateries are involved, happily joining forces with the MAPS team to promote the arts in the area, whilst local shops like Rags to Bitches and Mr Scruff’s Cup cafe are contributing to the effort too, with discounts and OFFERS available throughout the Festival.

Local artist Stan Chow (http://www.chinkyafro.com) created the brand and promotional material for the Festival.

As well as fantastic musical delights that Manchester is so well known for, MAPS branches out onto the streets for the weekend and creating a carnival atmosphere with circus acts, fire-spinning and street busking.

MAPS has also joined forces with NOISE - a Europe-wide media showcase for young people which offers credible media coverage and the exposure to kick start careers in the creative industries http://www.noisefestival.com

Incorporating every piece of the delightful creativities listed above, the MAPS organisers want to bring together the different people who spend their lives in and around Manchester’s creative quarter, as well as the businesses and organisations creating and constructing within it.

With 4 days, over 12 venues full of 200 bands, artists and dancers, MAPS promises to be one of the Summer’s best and truest local festivals.

"You are given a 1 pound coin"

I see what you are all thinking....You walk into the iTunes Store and see a generous amount of "I's" and "Tunes" fluttering around like Great Crested Grebes. Well in fact, its that overwhelmed by Marmite that its difficult for the Great Crested Grebes to get a look in.

It merely comes down to whether you would prefer to spend your designated pound coin on Marmite or as you may well know our iTune 'Play The Game' which clocks in at a miniscule 79p. Leaving you with 21p to spend on a pack of home brand crisps which are often referred to as potato chips in America.

Now your mission statement is to either Love it or Hate it and indeed go ahead and buy it.

'Play The Game' out on iTunes now!
