The Manchester International Festival runs from 28th June to 15th July in Manchester. It features a range of events, from dance, through art to Music.
Brand new this year is a completely unofficial, alternative fringe event. It hosts over 50 gigs, art exhibitions and other events. We’re running a special Songs for the Bath Tub event at Trof in the Northern Quarter. And I’m being interviewed and doing a live set on Manchester’s all fm on monday 9th July, 3-4pm.

The Castle pub has a weekly open mic night on Mondays, run by Ollie Smith. It also has lots of other music going on throughout the week. It’s a small, initimate venue, with a few real ales - definitely slightly off the beaten track (a long way up Oldham St, beyond Dry Bar and Night and Day).
The Castle Hotel, 66 Oldham Street, Manchester, M4 1LE
