MANCHAGEN OFFICIAL THEME
EMBRACE THE PASSION
Bringing you a mini Eurovision event is no mean feat and it would not be like the real thing without our very own music. So, MancHagen is proud to present to you our Official Anthem.
As with the main show, there are many versions being developed, from the opening sequence, interval act, postcard athem and of course, our very own Common Song. So, here, you will be able to listen to the soundtrack professionally produced by Manchester's very own Rick Holden.
ABOUT OUR
Composer
Rick Holden is a music producer from Droylsden in Manchester, UK and writes dance, trance
and hardstyle music. He first started composing in the early 1990s on Commodore 64 and
Amiga home computers, moving onto a Roland XP50 Synth and Cubase, and ultimately now using DAWs with plugins.
His music is generally uplifting and melodic with a dancefloor beat, with influences ranging
from Cappella and Sash! to Scooter and Harris & Ford.

More versions of the Official MancHagen Eurovision Festival theme and our Common Song soon.
MANCHAGEN OFFICIAL SONGS
RAISING FUNDS FOR GOOD CAUSES
If you're a fan of Junior Eurovision, you'll know, they always have their very own 'Common Song' performed by the artists taking part in the contest that year.
We love hearing a good song, so we challenged ourselves to produce an official song for the MancHagen Eurovision Festival. However, we got so into it, we not produced just one, but two incredible songs!
The first has been written by our theme composer Rick Holden and is called "Love Is All We Share". It attempts to combine the styles of Danish music and BritPop together with a stadium anthem feel. It is a song that embodies what Eurovision and MancHagen are all about and we think it will not only have you listening to it over and over, but rock you emotions with love, happiness and joy!
The second has been written by one of our Core Team creators Kris Hague and will feature as the track to our flash mob interval act currently being choreograhed by the incredible duo Rosie and Alexx. This song is called "Can't Help But Feel It" and boy is it a bop! You'll be dancing to this track in the shower, in the streets, in our event arenas. Basically, everywhere, everytime you hear it.
Both songs when completed will be published online via major music outlets like Amazon Prime, Apple Music and others and available to purchase and download with proceeds going to the artists involved and our nominated good causes.
We cannot wait for you to hear them and see them performed at MANCHAGEN in April.
