red@retro

its not about lining promoters pockets .. its about the music ....

About Me

Red@retro is a new monthly night , its be set up for the good people of Manchester and the north west to hear unsigned bands and decent djs playing anything that is a tune! ... The night was set up because we are fed up of manchester promters lining their own pockets and making unsigned bands sell 50 tickets mid week in order to get a gig ..this is a Saturday night in the middle of our wonderful town with an intimate audience ( capacity is 120 ) followed by djs who play what you want to hear ...The idea is to only have one or at the max two live bands on every month, that way its those particular bands showcase ...

Any unsigned band that has had a raw deal off other so called promoters ( to promote music is our aim )Twisted Wheel on the opening night...amazing! [email protected] else would you want to be on a Saturday night?""The first night was f**king amazing...make sure you don't miss the next red@retro"Gareth Brooks XFM
