Design Manchester: design meets music in Music How at 70 Oxford Street

Design Manchester is a week-long celebration of creativity and design, with a range of masterclasses and free events taking place around Manchester city centre. One of the major highlights is a Music How panel which sees big names discussing various aspects of design in music. The panel includes New Order and Joy Division drummer Stephen Morris taking part in a conversation about the visual aspects of album creation alongside Festival expert, Jon Drape, who specialises in the aesthetic considerations of live music production. His CV includes the Portmeirion-based Festival No 6 as well as the hugely successful likes of Parklife Festival and the Warehouse Project. The panel is completed by Luke Bainbridge, music journalist and key figure behind Festival No 6.
