THE MONTH AHEAD: Manchester Gigs for September 2008

Photo by John the Monkey on Flickr

Well with 'summer' out of the way, there's a packed month ahead of gigs in Manchester. And I've decided to post a round-up of sorts ... and a compilation of music from artists appearing in September at the end. This may or may not be a regular occurence ...

This is not a definitive list; just gigs I am going to, I would like to go to, or just sound interesting if I had cash/time/inclination to take a chance on etc.

Now as soon as I finished the list I have seen the omissions (from Emmylou Harris to Cats In Paris), possible inaccuracies (is the Bowerbirds actually happening anywhere?) and irregularities (Magic Arm's Myspace lists the Beep Seals at Dulcimer gig but nowhere else does. Myth? Invited guests only?). So please check by standard empirical means before planning a night out around what you see below.

And watch out: there are plenty of gigs clashing throughout the month.
