Current Music Nights in Manchester (June 09)

For Folk’s Sake – A splendid mixture of folk and spoken word

OtherSounds – These guys put on cult acts, often at Kro Bar. Student orientated, so not so many of them happening in summer. Usually good value, and a chance to see really great acts in a small space

Mushaboom / Hi How Are You – Usually at Fuel Caf’e or at Kro. These feature great music, lovely crowd, and very often free cakes…

Last Night Was A Disaster – Often at Kro. Lara and Charlotte put together really fantastic nights of music, though often only every few months. Again, they put on touring bands in a small room, don’t charge much to get in, and create a lovely atmosphere. True DIY gigs.

Carefully Planned – Matthew puts on great DIY shows, with a variety of music. Again, the nights aren’t always regular, but do always feature bands that he loves. So going along to the nights can often yield some great acts that you wouldn’t normally come across. The nights happen at Kro, Cafe Saki, and other venues.

There are loads and loads of other great nights happening in Manchester right now. This is really just scratching the surface. I’ll keep coming back and updating this guide further – but in the meantime, if you have any suggestions, please let me know in the comments below!
