Hungry Pigeon spokesman Alex McCann says “It's a real honour to be nominated for our festival on a national level, and for the 2nd year in a row. We started Hungry Pigeon as 4 promoters coming together to put Manchester music on the map and create a great festival. We couldn't have got this far without Manchester City Council and Visit Manchester, who help us so much, and this years sponsor HL Jeans Co. And of course it goes without saying the great people of Manchester and those that travel from all over the UK and Europe for Hungry Pigeon”
