If you follow me on Twitter you’ll probably
be aware that I went to Dot to Dot Festival in Manchester last weekend. I
didn’t stop tweeting about it for about a week. Apologies.
Dot to Dot is a festival that happens across Manchester, Bristol and
Nottingham one weekend in May every year. The
festival makes use of multiple indoor venues within each of the cities and
hosts around 100 artists and bands (which makes choosing who to see quite a
difficult task).
I went to Dot to Dot for the first
time last year when I was living in Bristol, and knew I would have to go again. Heading back to Bristol couldn't work, as the people I stay with are
right in the middle of exams, so my friend Jenny suggested going back to her hometown, Manchester. I didn’t think you could beat
Bristol for great locations and quirky venues, but Manchester’s Northern
Quarter is strong competition, and it’s definitely somewhere I’d go back to
visit.
