1st February 1980

A cracking listing advert for the week long February Festival 1980 with diverse line-up featuring chart toppers The Pretenders, jazz and blues from George Melly's Feetwarmers, poetry by Adrian Henri, a hypnotist and the John Peel Roadshow amongst others.

The February Festival was funded by North West Arts with the aim to incorporate different events in venues people would otherwise visit and encourage visitors to discover new forms of entertainment to enjoy.

Taken from the Mancunion newspaper, written and edited by University of Manchester students. With thanks to James Peters at the University of Manchester Archives and Ben Ward at University of Manchester Students' Union.
