Festive folk night in Manchester

And an interesting night taking place at Common in Manchester on 18 Dec - an evening of new folk and acoustic music complete with lots of festive stuff (mulled wine, hot Vimto, roast chestnuts and presents). Music wise you'll get Desert Rain, Liam Fray, Kamal Arafa, Peter and the Wolf, Liam Frost and Neil Wright. Fingers crossed it'll be the first of a new quarterly folk night. It runs from 4pm through to midnight, and tickets, on sale in advance, are a fiver.
