NOT PART OF NEW YEARS EVE

NOT PART OF NYE
In association with forever manchester
A one day microcosm of what the festival sets out to achieve, an open platform with a varied mix of creators supporting each other. The first Not Part Of NYE in January 2008 was a massive success so we decided to do IT every year.
