This summer, the Martin Harris Centre for Music and Drama is taking part in Music for The Senses – A brand new art trail for a musical city.

The trail will feature artworks, exhibitions and installations that celebrate the people, places, moments and instruments of Manchester’s music scene. It runs from Monday 7 July – Sunday 31 August.

We’ll be celebrating two of the University of Manchester’s most famous alumni – Ed Simons and Tom Rowlands, a.k.a. The Chemical Brothers. The dance music duo met while studying history in the late 1980s and early 1990s, and went on to achieve massive chart success with six No. 1 albums and two No.1 singles in the UK.

Why not pay us a visit when you’re out and about in Manchester exploring the trail? For more info, visit the Music for The Senses website, where you can also download the official app.
