The highlight of Saturday - The Charlatans.

The Mancunian band have been churning out consistently good music for 15 years - no mean achievement - and this performance had the best of the entire period.

Sunday's top act were Groove Armada. The roof of the JJB arena almost came off with the atmosphere generated by the band.

Audio Bullys caught the ear with their ska/punk/dance sound. Yet another JJB arena success story.
