COMFORTABLE ON A TIGHTROPE at SALFORD RESTORATION OFFICE
A new promoter and a new venue for SFTOC this year, with Comfortable on a Tightrope taking over that quirky little building across from the Albert Vaults aka the Salford Restoration Office.
"Comfortable on a Tightrope means..." Love in the time of Commerce, Believe in Yourself, Listen to People, Want to be Good, Try, Be Who You Are, God AND the Devil are in the details. Ask for the truth, Look close. In recent times COAT have brought some of the greatest you probably would never else have seen including Simon Joyner, Diane Cluck, Anni Rossi and Picastro.
