<---LOOK AT THE 'SOUNDS LIKE' SECTION NOW TO SEE THE WEEKLY OPEN MICS AND ACOUSTIC NIGHTS IN MANCHESTER AND GREATER MANCHESTER!!!!!
This site is about Manchester music! Specifically its acoustic scene. The aim of this site is to get Manchester people going out and watching some live acoustic music! Also we're hoping to help out those hard working Manchester musicians by getting them some gigs and hopefully getting them known. Finally we'd like to help by promoting the wonderful bars and cafes and organisers that put on the acoustic events because well, it's always good to have somewhere to go and play! In a nut shell this what we hope to achieve:
Okay, so right now the Manchester acoustic scene is great but unfortunately only a few people seem to know about it. We're hoping to change that. At any given time there are acoustic events happening in the city, pretty much something on every day and we feel it's time that we tell people about it! So if you're craving some acoustic action then we're gonna tell you what's on. We'll update it every week, so that any time you want to watch some quality acoustic music in Manchester and Greater Manchester you know where to go.
*Weekly updated schedule is ON HOLD for a while but don't despair, we still have the open mics and acoustic nights that happen every week so you won't be lacking in places to either play or watch acoustic music in Manchester :)*
If you know of any acoustic nights happening that aren't on here (or ones that are on here and aren't happening anymore!) then do tell us. We hope to eventually have a comprehensive list of all the acoustic goings on. If you're a venue / organiser that puts on acoustic nights then great! Just tell us when the acoustic nights are and as much detail as possible and we'll put it up here, as well as do our best to come along and experience the night for ourselves! Just keep us updated every week of what acoustic-y things you're doing! Plus if you want any great acoustic artists to play at your events then just ask us and we'll tell you who we know.
And finally...... if you're a struggling (or not so struggling) acoustic musician and you're wondering how you can get in on these acoustic events then just ask and we'll try and hook you up with the venues and organisers putting on the events!
So now you're gonna get the best acoustic musicians of Manchester in the best venues of Manchester watched by more and more people who all love acoustic music as much as we do! Quite literally everyone wins!
This is Manchester Acoustic, it's lovely to meet you :)
