Part of the Manchester International Festival, and taking place in the Festival’s Pavilion Theatre (on Albert Square), True Faith celebrates the work of Manchester’s established and emerging talent with a very special series of gigs and talks curated by DJ and writer Dave Haslam.
‘Close Up’ is a short series of exclusive onstage conversations which see Dave Haslam interview Manchester icons Bernard Sumner of Joy Division and New Order, music writer and broadcaster Paul Morley and the former Magazine/Bad Seeds bass player and soundtrack composer Barry Adamson.
The live gigs feature a handpicked selection of Manchester¹s most exciting new bands, performing original material and one-off covers with some very special guests. The gigs have been curated by Everything Everything (5 July) and Dave Haslam (6 & 12 July).

“Following the success of True Faith at Manchester International Festival in 2009, many of the featured acts, including Delphic and Everything Everything, have subsequently leapt even further into the spotlight,” says Dave Haslam. “Linking these live gigs to onstage interviews with three people who’ve made their mark internationally is a celebration and a statement: the current generation is picking up the baton, but running off in a different direction. That’s the best thing about the Manchester music scene; it’s always being remade, remodelled.”
