In May we set up and organized the Launch party for the The Salford Music Co-operative. This is a group set up to promote independent music and put on gigs and give bands the opportunity to work together and get their music heard by a wider audience. It promotes the salford music scene and will allow salford talent to play shows in the city. It will also offer the possibility for gig swaps between Cambridge and Salford bands.
