Rochdale Music Stories presents: Kenion Street Album Launch Concert

Join Rochdale Music Stories for a very special concert celebrating the iconic music recorded at Cargo Studios and Suite Sixteen between 1977-2001.

Rochdale boasts a rich and diverse musical legacy: from Gracie Fields to The Courteeners, Lisa Stansfield to Autechre. It’s the town where Joy Division recorded their seminal track Atmosphere and where groundbreaking music continues to thrive.

As part of Rochdale’s Town of Culture year, Rochdale Development Agency have launched Rochdale Music Stories – an exciting collaboration between The Stockport Music Story and Voltalab Sound Studios. This project invited local artists to reimagine tracks that were recorded at Cargo and Suite Sixteen studios on Kenion Street, Rochdale.

The result of that is a limited-edition vinyl record available at this launch where the artists will each perform their track. Clint Boon (Inspiral Carpets) will compere the event and chat to some very special guests as part of the show.
