Review of Fat Out Fest 2017
Great fest, with an excellent eclectic line up. A few snags with things running to time, but these changes were handled with a relaxed attitude, befitting the overall laid back / chaotic feel of the festival. Lovely touches like screen printing your own merch was excellent. Top marks. Food offering at the fest and in the local areas was pretty poor, so would be great to see more options next time around.

Review of Fat Out Fest 2017
It was wonderful, lovely people and music that was, avant-garde but was inclusive to everybody, from townies to anarcho punks to high fashion people and more, all of whom were represented and those representing them were getting on famously. I would say the venue, needed to be organised, with signage and I would say it needed, someone to help them, manage the event and with their audio quality, to really make this event and venue, shine that bit brighter, also some, good old fashioned tidying up and cleaning, sadly it's run down and needs and deserves some serious TLC, this sort of venue is unique and needs preserving and has specialist requirements, and needs ENCOURAGING TO GROW. I also think, there should have been a more diverse food offering, because pizza and curry, are not always to everyone's taste, especially at an event that attracts, so many different people, with different backgrounds. I would definitely, attend this event again or others like it. If nothing else, we would like to meet more like minded people like we did on Friday and hear more of that awesome music and feel that amazing atmosphere. MANKIND NEEDS THIS.

Review of Thurston Moore & Radieux Radio \'Watch the Sky\'.
I'm a big fan of experimental and progressive music. Me and my friend were really excited to see Thurston perform for the first time, but despite being stood right at the front, we could hear very little of his playing in the mix, and it basically amounted to an hour of him making vague chiming rainstick sounds with varying dynamics using his guitar over the ambient music the rest of the musicians were creating.. Very self indulgent.. I really appreciated the rest of the musicians there, and I think they carried the whole performance, but knowing and loving the other work Mr Moore has put out, i was disappointed to be left feeling that i'd paid £20 to watch a famous musician massage his ego for a bit.

Review of Thurston Moore & Radieux Radio \'Watch the Sky\'.
It really is amazing that in the 21st century people can still get so offended by improvised music. The guy who started shouting about everything being "too hig*brow" should have bought a tick*t to see Thurston Moore at Gorilla in June instead. I knew as soon as I found out that Otto Willberg was in Thurston Moore's band that this would be a great performance, but it exceeded my highest expectations. The Yossarians played one of the best shows I've seen them play too. It was nice to meet Thurston Moore and get him to sign a CD cover, and good to meet some old friends I hadn't seen for a while. Islington Mill is always the best venue for a great atmosphere in the Greater Manchester region, and its only downside is the low stage. That's not a problem if,like me, you stand near the front.

Review of RITE
Rite does exactly what it says on the tin. The event had a friendly emersive atmosphere with a surprise around every corner. I would highly recommend this event if you want to try a different kind of night out in Manchester.
