   About OverLoad
OverLoad was established in 2002 at The Citadel Arts Centre, and it has continued to get bigger and better as the years have flown by. OverLoad was one of the first Under 18's nights to be established in the area, covering all genre's of music and encouraging the talent of local young musicians.

Situated in the centre of St Helens town centre, The Citadel develops its own artistic performance programme covering a variety of art forms, education/outreach work, and community projects.
Providing a wide spectrum of performing and visual arts activities; live theatre, comedy, dance, fine art, family friendly events, in addition to the renowned music programme.
The Citadel has a long established reputation and was voted by The Independent as one of the top 10 jazz and blues venues in the UK.



PLEASE READ!!!!

Just a quick note from everyone at Overload to ask that you make arrangements for you being dropped off/picked up from The Citadel.

While we take responsibility for your safety during the gig we have been made aware of incidents which have taken place before and after, which many of you may be aware of after October.

We are doing all we can and we have asked St Helens Police for their support on this matter, but we also need cooperation for you guys! It's not much to ask to make sure you'r safe, and we can all rest easy!

See you at the next Overload x

THE MANDIGANS - LIVE @ MANCHESTER ARNDALE........ JULY 1ST - 7PM


Its our only Manchester gig of the Summer as we're taking a break to write some new songs - so come on down for your last chance to hear the old Mandigans songs

WHATS THE DATE AND WHAT TIME?
Wed July 1st @ 7pm

WHERE?
Halle Square - its where JD Sports and Henri Lloyd store are

(Note: There's a very very small chance the gig may get moved to Exchange Square, near Next, so if you dont see a PA system and band around 6.30pm at Halle Square you know where to move to)

ISNT A GIG IN A SHOPPING CENTRE A BIT WEIRD?
Yeah, in the UK maybe, but they happen all the time in America.... so come down, make noise, invite your mates and make sure everybody knows the Mandigans are in the building

IM NOT IN MANCHESTER SO CANT MAKE IT?
We have gigs throughout the Summer in Wigan, Blackburn, Leeds, London, Birmingham and maybe a few more TBC so keep checking http://www.myspace.com/themandigans


ALSO....
Join the new Mandigans facebook page so you can chat to us all the time
