Hey - just a heads-up for all the musicians out there. EXR, who run a lot of gigs in Manchester, run a weekly jam session at the Lounge Bar, Wilbraham Road, Chorlton.
The session is acoustic - they have congas, djembes, bongos, tambourines etc set up as well as a bass amp and a good PA/mics etc. They’re also looking to get a good percussion section together - anyone can join in. Also acoustic artists and bands are welcome to come and do a short set/jam.
EXR are running an acoustic competition at the same time. For more details on all this see: http://exr.org.uk/

Here’s a regularly-updated list of events in Manchester - centred more on acoustic and folk gigs:
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).
