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 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.

If we’ve missed anything please feel free to plug any gigs in the comments box at the bottom of this page.

WE NOW HAVE A WEEKLY RADIO SHOW ON FAB RADIO INTERNATIONAL WHERE WE PLAY MANY OF THE ACTS LISTED ON THIS PAGE. YOU CAN TUNE IN EACH SATURDAY AFTERNOON FROM 3-5, OR LISTEN AGAIN HERE

Free Gig Guide & Radio Show Android App Is Available HERE
