The Rails / Bird To Beast / Lucy & Virginia - Manchester Band On The Wall - 15th April 2015

The Rails' last show in Manchester at Gullivers went down as legend in some quarters. They came back to the more salubrious surroundings of the Band On The Wall accompanied by Colne's finest Bird To Beast and local-based duo Lucy & Virginia. It's very rare you get such a great trio of bands on the same bill so we went along to check them all out.

Jo Rose / Mano McLaughlin / Lucy & Virginia - Chorlton Strange Brew - 7th January 2015

Early January is a time of fairly slim pickings on the live gig front, but we were treated to a special acoustic evening with three great acts at the intimate surroundings of the Strange Brew in Chorlton. Jo Rose headlined with a special guest appearance from Klara from First Aid Kit and he was ably supported by Mano McLaughlin and Lucy & Virginia.
