C'mon Feet (10th Birthday)
C'mon Feet run Manchester's longest established not-for-profit Hip Hop night and are planning two special parties to celebrate 10 years!
Submitted by andypeek.
C'mon Feet run Manchester's longest established Hip Hop night, however they are not "promoters" in the traditional sense of the word. C'mon Feet are Hip Hop enthusiasts who run on a not-for-profit basis, meaning that any money made at our events is put directly back into the night to bring a higher calibre of guests next time round.
We are seeking £2,000 for our 10th birthday celebrations and we plan to run two nights in October and December 2010 at one of our old stomping grounds 'Band on the Wall'. Our aim is to keep the entrance fee as low as possible, making the events as accessible to as many people as possible, and also delivering top quality established international artists alongside up-and-coming local talent, all of which would be difficult without a bursary.
This will be our way of saying a massive thank you to everyone who has supported C'mon Feet and Manchester's underground Hip hop scene over the last 10 years and more.
Should the nights be a success (and we strongly believe that they will be), we will use any profit to continue running C'mon Feet at Band on the Wall, standing by the principles that we have always kept about the way we feel a club night should run - C'mon Feet is all about community, no attitude and Hip Hop music being accessible to everyone.
Umbro will receive exclusive sponsorship of the events, with the Umbro name being used on 10,000 flyers and also posters. Umbro can provide us with their banners to advertise within the club, and also a radio advert to be aired on the C'mon Feet Elements Radioshow on Unity Radio (www.unityradio.fm). The station will be broadcasting on 92.8 FM across Manchester later this year.
History: C’mon Feet was set up in December 2000 at the Contact Theatre Deluxe Bar starting as a free monthly Sunday bar session. The nights were a success and built up a following, so we moved to Night & Day Bar in September 2001. Manchester debut’s for rising UK talent such as Task Force, Rodney P, Jehst, Shortee Blitz, Klashnekoff, Aspects, Tommy Evans and Dr Syntax followed, and also shows for international artists such as Masta Ace and DJ Vadim.
In October 2003, C'mon Feet moved to 'Band on the Wall' which felt like its natural home. During this time international artists such as J-Zone, D-Styles, Ricci Rucker, Prince Paul and Louis Logic passed through and also UK artists such as Woody, Ritchie Ruftone, the P Brothers, Tigerstyles and DJ MK. After Band on the Wall's closure and a short break for C'mon Feet, the night restarted in October 2005 at the Mint Lounge, and guests included CraigG, Wordsworth, Pumpkinhead, Blakey, Genesis Elijah, Yungun, Mr Thing and the Dirty Diggers.
It then moved to the Roadhouse in 2007 for shows with the Foreign Beggars, Jack Flash and Wordsmith and C’mon Feet currently run a free pub session at Manchester institution “The Salutation”.

10 years of awesome tunes and sore feet. This night is a stalwart of the Manchester Hip Hop scene and deserves to be reocgnised as such. This will help C'mon Feet on its way to achieve its dreams and make a lot of people very happy.

This has to happen. Umbro should back this night that has done so much for Manchester hip hop over the years!
Posted by AlbieShore on Jul 19th, 2010
C'mon Feet is a great night filled with laughs n top tunes!
Posted by Rachie06 on Jul 17th, 2010
10 years?! Man I feel old... Well remember C'Mon Feet at the Night and Day as THE place to hear Uk hip hop when very few other places were playing it AND it was always full to the rafters. This is exactly what MCR needs right now.
Posted by MarkT on Jul 14th, 2010
C’mon Feet back in Band on the Wall will be a doubtless success, with people queuing round the block. Fully behind this one, and can’t wait to party for the 10th Birthday. Umbro, you are on to a winner!

Cmon feet is the real deal and has been for years. Run by proper dj's and record collectors this would be a great blessing for cmon feet to shine on a larger scale once again. Omas

A C'mon Feet 10th birthday party would be bigger to Manchester than the Stone Roses reforming.

This has to happen. There's a reason it's been around for 10 years - it's wanted and needed.
Posted by Gez2wo9ine on Jul 12th, 2010
Cmon feet is run by the nicest guys that Manchester Hip Hop has to offer and therefore really deserves to celebrate in style.
Posted by trixilix on Jul 12th, 2010
Manchester needs a massive injection of independent balls-to-the-wall hip hop. C'mon Feet are the gennelmen to do it.
Posted by groovement on Jul 12th, 2010
I've been to many C'mon Feet events over the years and I can safely say that they know how to run a hip hop night better than anyone else. A 10th birthday show would be amazing and I would definitely make the trip back to Manchester for this.
Posted by ZeeEss on Jul 12th, 2010
A 10th birthday party for C'Mon Feet would be immense, let's show the people that the hip hop scene is alive and well, and maybe inspire a new crew to get themselves involved.
Posted by RazIce on Jul 12th, 2010
This'd be a great thing for the Manchester music scene, bring it on!
Posted by drivethru on Jul 12th, 2010
Congratulations to C'mon Feet for making it to 10 years - good luck with this!
Posted by WendyS on Jul 12th, 2010
C'mon Feet is a great night, a real local institution - I'd love to see the big 10th birthday happen!
