Ramsbottom Festival 2016: a film by Northern Soul
Ah, Ramsbottom Festival. How do I love thee? Let me count the ways…
Now in its sixth year, Ramsbottom Festival has become a firm fixture on the UK festival calendar. This year was its most successful ever with more than 11,000 people in attendance, around 70 acts and over 20 family arts activities. And the sun shone throughout!
Like 2015, we’ve made a video. Feast your eyes on our exclusive interviews with Julian Cope, Public Service Broadcasting, Smoove & Turrell, The Plumedores, The Travelling Band, The Slow Readers Club, Harp and a Monkey, James Holt, UkePunk, Burgundy Blood, and New York Tourists. There’s also a range of great photos by our snappers Paul Husband and Chris Payne. And huge thanks go to the producer and director of our film, Jack Stocker, and Lucia Cox for handling our social media during the festival.

Instagram filters were not the first tool used to distort and manipulate the female form. A new online exhibition by Newcastle’s @Discovery_Mus charts how women’s bodies have been artificially changed from the Victorian period to the 2000s. @TWArchives northernsoul.me.uk/image-gall… pic.twitter.com/0gTwKHaQBx
