Night and Day is one of the best places in Manchester to catch new, unsigned bands, as well as some better known acts. There’s music to be heard here pretty much every night - plus some good DJs. Highly recommended.

One weekend in mid-September, the first End of the road festival took place, deep in rural Dorset. It was a fantastic event, with a lovely crowd of festival-goers. On the bill were Ryan Adams, Josh Ritter, Ed Harcourt, Badly Drawn Boy, Hush the Many, Jeremy Warmsley, to name a few… Here’s some pictures from the festival

Thanks to Ledge and JustHipper at The Indie Credential for pointing out an excellent site that enables you to swap gig tickets or sell them at face-value. Beats eBay!

We’ve finally got together a website for all the acoustic nights that we’re running in Manchester, including Songs for the Bath Tub (Fuel, Withington) and Songs from Another Place (Trof, Fallowfield). Head over to the Songs for the Bath Tub site for info on Manchester acoustic gigs and events

Hey!

We’re running a new acoustic night at Trof in Fallowfield. The first one’s this Wednesday 20th September, and we’ve got a great lineup of our favourite acoustic acts to start off with: Aron Paul, Lisa Redford, Karima Francis and Feldspar. It’s all free… and Trof has had a bit of a refurbishment, plus loads of really good beers (though stay away from their Root beer unless you’re feeling adventurous. It tastes like TCP…)

Hey! I’m doing a fair bit of gigging around England in the next few months, but if you’re really keen to see a gig near where you live, you can now say so on Eventful.com:

Got a couple of London gigs. First, the Troy Bar, Hoxton, (tube: Old St) this Wed 13th Sept.

Secondly, Leonard’s Bar(nr Exmouth Market), on 10th October.

Sadly, Dan’s open mic at the Thirsty Scholar on a Thursday is no more.. I went to the last one last week and played a few songs… quite a party. Acts included Gideon Conn, Andrew “Blind Boy” Butler and John McKay.
