MANCHESTER GIGS IN MUSIC: May 2012 Pt.1


As if there weren’t enough gigs to miss in a month, May also brings over 100 bands playing three multi-venue city festivals in Manchester and Salford. Starting with Sounds From The Other City this weekend and finishing with the Chorlton Arts Festival Weekender at the end with Future Everything in between. If all goes well I may even get to more than one of these. This month’s mixtape leans more to many of the other gigs across the month including tomorrow night’s highly recommended Richard James gig at The Castle (see yesterday’s post on his latest album).


As ever a mixtape [65 mins / 75 MB] of bands playing Manchester this month to help inform your gig-going decision-making - link in the post below this one.
