Milnrow Calling marks aMore than 1000 turn out for Milnrow music eventAugust Bank Holiday 2021 will go down by many as the weekend they went back ‘out-out’ inour village as the first Milnrow Calling festival took place. Over a thousand party goers weretreated to a variety of acts for all the family. I was honoured to be invited to act as the MC forthe day and got to introduce some great acts on two stages on the cricket ground.Opening the proceedings were Milnrow Community Choir who are always looking for newmembers and rehearse at 7.30pm every Monday evening at the Cricket Club, and they werefollowed by the highly energetic Loud Elite Competition Team Dancers. Both performancescertainly set the scene for what was to come later in the afternoon and evening. Involvingthese two community groups in this way was a wonderful way of giving the participants theopportunity to show off their considerable talents and gain experience and it also encouragedtheir families and the rest of the audience to stay all day!It’s more usual to see Ellie Sax playing to crowds of partygoers on the beach at sunsetthan during the afternoon in a Greater Manchester cricket club! Fortunately, the organisersmanaged to secure Ellie and her high tempo sax solos over a DJ backing really got the crowdgoing early doors.There were two local bands performing at the festival, a Celtic Rock band calledThe Scattering (check out that bass player!) and 80s covers band New Identity. Both are fivepiece set ups and are made up of local lads, but their styles couldn’t be more different.The Scattering play Irish, folk, and country songs usually with a straight 4 beat and hightempo, decorated with accordion and fiddle solos on top of vocal harmonies. New Identity arean extremely tight electric rock pop band with punching synth parts and vocal work and the80s pop classics allow both the guitar and bass shine with some familiar lines and riffs. It wasbrilliant to see local bands celebrated locally.There was a real family feeling to the day with food stalls, face painting, ice creamsand sweets and there was also a generous helping of cuteness inthe shape of the Disney Duo from Merseyside who treated a youngaudience to a medley of classics from “The Mouse.”Tribute acts are not everyone’s cup of tea, but they are the staple ofsmall festivals like this, and they certainly work in bringing peopletogether. Stepping in to cover for a poorly Robbie Williams (tribute)were the brilliant Runaway Killers, followed by The Courtbetweeners,who are I’m reliably informed are the only Courteeners tribute act inthe country.As the sun set, the whole event drew towards the main stage whereFreddie and the Queen experience were the perfect crowning actto an extremely successful event.Next year’s Milnrow Calling will take place on Sunday3rd Sept 2022 and tickets can be purchased atwww.whatsoccurrinrochdale.co.uk/ticketsAndy Kelly38To advertise call 07976 289967 or 07974 434793 or email sales@streetwisemag.co.uk
