Bands FC on display at Manchester's Football Museum

Manchester bands feature heavily in the exhibition, on show until 22 November
An exhibition celebrating the inextricable link between football and pop music has opened in Manchester.
Bands FC is the work of Mark Liptrott and Nick Fraser who have - in their own words - reimagined "bands as football teams and football teams as bands".
Oasis and The Stone Roses, for example, are reinvented in the image of Manchester rivals City and United, respectively beloved by the bands.
