Well it was our first Dont Pay To Play on the 4th June, and we were so pleased with how it went, we wanted to do another one!
Your chance to play and listen to the city's hottest new music at Manchester's most unique city centre space.
If you're a musician nowadays it can be a real struggle to find somewhere to play, and an audience to play to. Some venues make you sell tickets in order to play, and in the worst cases, you end up paying the venue! Well here at NOISE we think this is just plain wrong.
NOISELAB handed the space over to young musicians and bands, offering a venue to play, a sound system, and an audience - for nowt, nadda, nothing - FREE!
Check out the 'Don't Pay To Play II' video (35 min):

Hey thanks Laura, you got your music on www.noisefestival.com yet? Free online portfolios and you get your own URL! Unfortunetly the sound on the camera distroted the last bands sound so were unable to use it on the edit - many apologies. Please email me projects@noisefestival.com if you have any further lovely comments x
