We have trawled through the forthcoming gigs in and around Manchester so you don’t have to. We believe that if we are going to recommend a gig to you, then it should be exactly that, a recommendation.
There are many other sites out here on the internet that have a gig guide, but how many of them can say they have actually listened to every single band/act they have listed? Well to be honest we don’t know the answer to that, but we’d guess not many, if any at all. Anyway, this is exactly what we do and hopefully the result is the best Manchester gig guide available. We shall let you be the judge.
This page is updated on a regular basis, so please check back often.
Also please feel free to plug any gigs in the comments box at the bottom of this page.

One to watch on Saturday 9th – Yorks’ finest littlemores on their first foray across the Pennines to play Tim Cockers XFM night at Carsons Bar , Middleton – https://www.facebook.com/events/492563610781957/
Described by Manchester Music’s David Edwards as playing “intelligent guitar-pop with a beating heart and lyrics of astute intelligence. They say what they feel, not what convention dictates, and therefore their music carries an integrity and honest embrace that is sorely missing from most current UK guitar bands. The softer side of Arctic Monkeys; the stonier path of The Maccabees. – Highly recommended”.
Catch them early – you won’t be disappointed !
