TUESDAY 20TH - DOVES Manchester Indie giants Doves are known for their large, epic sound, and have been compared with contemporaries such as Radiohead as well as classic Manchester bands such as The Stone Roses, New Order, and The Smiths even. Their third studio album, Some Cities, was released in February 2005 and went straight to NUMBER 1 in the UK Album Chart, preceded by the single Black And White Town which reached NUMBER 6 in the UK Single Charts. It is quite rightly regarded as a classic.
