news release

Award winning environmental organisation, Manchester Friends of the Earth (MFoE) [1], bring you some of the freshest musical talent for a one-off night of entertainment. ‘PARTY FOR THE PLANET’ is at Manchester’s Big Hands [3] on Saturday 27th September between 8pm – 2am and will raise funds for MFoE’s campaign work. With a comedian compère, a lively night out is promised.

The five bands:

Love Panda
Two-piece band, acoustic guitar and a bass (http://www.lovepanda.co.uk).
“Sultry, sublime and real sexy shit from Manchester’s most relaxed duo. Looking forward to this, kids”.

Pierre Hall
Indie, acoustic, singer-songwriter. A boy from the North West who’s been playing for the past 5 years and already has a few well-received Manchester gigs notched up.

Invincible Counter Offensive

Describe themselves as: “Our occasional flashes of pretension or narcissism are kept in check by our basically down-to-earth nature, and highly developed sense of irony.”

The Exports
A three piece rock ‘n’ roll outfit, playing together a year at Manchester’s venues. A raw live set dotted with songs which, if given the chance, could be hit singles.

Penumbra Derry (http://www.penumbraderry.co.uk)
Formed initially from the ashes of Central and Usurper, Penumbra Derry, was originally brought together as a blues rock tinged band. Doors influenced through psychedelic American rock.

Jayne Colquhoun of Manchester Friends of the Earth says:

“This is going to be an exciting night of new Manchester talent, including a comedian compère. All money paid on the door goes to Manchester Friends of the Earth to help fund their important local campaigning.”
