In this Punks in Pub's special, Liam talks to Andy Davies, one of the collective members of the Manchester Punk Festival.

Manchester Punk Festival should be taking place right now in several locations across Manchester, but sadly COVID 19 put a stop to that, and on March 17th the festival was cancelled.

Liam spoke to Andy via Instagram Live where they talked about that process of having a festival to look forward to and then for it to be ripped away.

Andy reviles how the punk community has saved the festival and how the physical festival may have been cancelled. The virtual one is going strong! Make sure you go watch some MPF acts via Instagram Live

Thank you to Illia and his new band 'Punk Rock Servant' for sponsoring this episode, make sure you go show him some love, we're big fans.

See you soon for episode 55
