Levenshulme Festival — BBC Radio Manchester

The Rossoneri had a very busy weekend at the start of the Levenshulme Festival this year. They played at the end of the opening night (Friday 20 October) at M19 Bar at the AcousticFest event for Oxjam. Part of that broadcast included an interview with Gail Sullivan for BBC Radio Manchester. Two of their songs were in the background during an interview with Native State afterwards as well.

The following two nights were spent playing with Manchester musician's collective Extraordinary Rendition at the Carlton Club (Saturday 21) as part of a variety of live music night, (funk, jazz, reggae, rock, Irish), then on Sunday 22 The Rossoneri played their own full length gig at Revise in Chorlton.

If that wasn't enough, the band returned to Levenshulme to the reknown Packhorse venue on Monday 23 to open and close the Irish night in the Levenshulme Festival. This enjoyable night was entirely broadcast on BBC Radio Manchester, and featured Dezi Donnelly, Keegan Kennedy's School of Irish Dancers, Tara O'Carolan's band and more local Irish acts, plus interviews from Eve and Ashley from the Citizen Manchester - Irish BBC show.
