You wait 50 years for a Fall festival, then two come along at once. Una Baines and Paula Greenwood are putting on a festival to pay homage to the women of The Fall. The Fallen Women Festival takes place in Manchester in September. Ticket link here: events.humanitix.com/50-year…
The reason the festival ran so smoothly is due to the army of volunteers. Amongst their number is a selfie-loving, happi bear called Brian, whose role appears to be performers welfare. May his photos here represent the spirit of the ace team of volunteers.

The volunteers are veterans of @Lthanwordsfest and are led by the praise-averse yet eminently praise-worthy Em Carroll. They calmly and efficiently run the show. Big thanks to all of them.
