THE top class line-up has now been announced — so it’s all systems go for Saddleworth’s massive new Cotton Clouds festival on Saturday, August 12. Chief organisers Rick and Max Lees are already praying for sunshine on the day, when top bands The Coral, The Sugarhill Gang, The Whip and Haircut 100’s Nick Heyward and a clutch of hotly-tipped up-and-coming local outfits will strut their considerable stuff on three separate stages at Saddleworth Cricket Club, Greenfield. Listen to Rick and Max speaking exclusively to Oldham Chronicle journalist Simon Smedley about how Cotton Clouds became a reality and what's in store for music fans on the day of the festival.
