We have not found a record of why the original bells were removed prior to 1927. Possibly removal took place during WWI when bells - which contained large amounts of copper and tin - were removed from belfries during and melted down for military purposes.
During a later period when the building sat empty, the bells were taken and either sold for scrap or to another church. The towers now have feature lighting thanks to funding from Heritage Lottery Fund and match funders to repair the building in 2017-18.
]]>Fatoumata Diawara: 8.30pm
Curfew: 11pm
Hailed as one of the most vital standard-bearers of modern African music, Fatoumata Diawara takes her artistry to fresh and thrilling heights on her new album FENFO.
Boldly experimental yet respectful of her roots, it’s a record that defines her as the voice of young African womanhood – proud of her heritage but with a vision that looks confidently to the future and a message that is universal.
Her spectacular 2011 debut album Fatou made the Malian singer and guitarist the most talked about new African artist on the planet. FENFO (which translates as “something to Say”’) dramatically fulfils that promise on a set of vivid and original new compositions that draw on the rich experiences she has enjoyed since.
“I’ve had so many different musical adventures since the last album, touring and working with so many other musicians and I think you can hear how all of that feeds into this record,” she says. “This is my time and I’m sharing my soul.”
Those she has worked with include some of the biggest names in contemporary music. She recorded with Bobby Womack and Herbie Hancock; played Glastonbury and other major festivals; and toured with the Cuban pianist Roberto Fonseca. She assembled a West African super-group featuring Amadou and Mariam, Oumou Sangaré and Toumani Diabaté to record a song calling for peace in her troubled homeland; and climbed aboard Damon Albarn’s star-studded Africa Express, which culminated in her sharing a stage with Sir Paul McCartney.
Presented by Music-Net. Music-Net is a partnership between producer and promoter Root Music and Inner City Music, owners and operators of iconic historic Manchester music venue Band on the Wall, funded by Arts Council England.

From 12.30pm there is a free lunch followed by a live panel debate: Mind the gap! Should the NHS promote self-care to become more sustainable? Experts answer audience questions on whether we should encourage self-care to address the NHS deficit.
