Fringes, Garden Parties & Women that Wank!!

Early Birds | 27th August 2015

women that wank

Jammin’ July took the Birds to see Manchester through a massive FRINGE. Yep, Manchester Fringe Festival kicked off in full party style and the Birds had as many guests live on their show as they could fit in. Greater Manchester Fringe is a grass-roots festival run by volunteers with a lot of love. Encompassing the best of Manchester’s alternative scene, including art, dance, theatre, new writing, cabaret, comedy, poetry, music, burlesque, workshops and exhibitions.

A huge Tim Burgess-style fringe was erected on top of the Chophouse for the whole of July. Created by artist Pete Fowler and inspired by a discussion between Private Eye cartoonist Tony Husband and owner Roger Ward.

The Birds LIVE @ 5pm guests included Jo Dakin – Back Seat Betty; Maria O’Hare and Chris Brown from The Messiah; Gino Brandolani and Carrie Lawson, who are BERLIN; Analie from Safemode and, last but not least, Joanne Tramarco from Women Who Wank! Well, you don’t have to imagine the conversation that was going on in the studio with Joanne – because you can listen again to all the interviews via the Early Birds Mixcloud Account right here.

What a fantastic month for everyone involved and big congratulations to GMFF!

The lovely James Lindmann, of Lindmann Sports and Leisure Entertainment Limited, nipped into the studio to chat to the Birds all about Manchester’s very own ‘Million Dollar’ Anthony Croall’s return to the ring. James also talked about the exclusive VIP After Show Party at Texture in Manchester’s vibrant Northern Quarter where Emma dynamically DJ’d alongside the funky live band. What a FAB night it was.

The Birds only just had time in July to fit in Emma’s birthday. Caz says she is still winning with the best of the birthday pressies but admits Emma is winning in throwing the best of Garden Parties at the DoubleTree Hilton Hotel. What a fantastic garden party it was too, with one hell of a guest list. Read all about it here.

Not forgetting another sell-out White Boy Gig promoting their new album “Glitoris” at Night and Day. In between DJing all over Manchester, Caz throwing out FAB eighties tunes and Viva Ems spinning those house/funky tunes, Caz Matthews and Emma have had another mad month. Phew, do they ever take a break? No. You can catch them live every Tuesday 3-6pm on FAB Radio International. www.fabradiointernational.com
