Joining him on the night is veteran soul and Hip-Hop DJ Woody who’ll be scratchin’ into the early hours.

The past few months has seen a huge number of Peterloo-related events pass through Manchester’s galleries, museums and libraries, but this Friday marks the true bicentennial of the massacre, and to commemorate it Manchester Histories have organised this huge event outside Manchester Central. From the Crowd invites participants to experience the historical protests from the perspective of a protestor, with speeches and performances scheduled throughout the day. At the time of writing two of the three time slots have already sold out, so you’ll need to move quickly if you want to take part in this collective immersive experience.
