Cunningly nestled between the two World Cup quarter finals, BBC are hosting a free one-day festival in Albert Square, bringing together a handful of Manchester's upcoming bands and musicians.

It's a completely free, un-ticketed event. Event Producer Hannah Wysome says:

"BBC Blast offers people a chance to explore their creative ideas and this gig provides a platform for the best new acts coming out of Manchester, as well as the resurgence of one of the old guards."

It was alright. Fear Of Music were good, and Snowfight in the city centre were alright.

There's pictures here.

Snowfight were playing at The Music Box afterwards. I went down to there to watch The Answering Machine and The Maple State - each of whom were impressive.

In fact, The Music Box proberly had more attendees than BBC Blast...
