Manchester’s grassroots live music venue is expanding its empire by taking over an 8,000 sqft former nightclub in Liverpool. Once known as the Cabin, the venue has a rich musical heritage - George Harrison wrote ‘Don’t Bother Me’ after being harassed by reporters on his way into the club in the sixties, while teen idol Tommy Steele held his engagement party at the premises.
Liam Gallagher sells Pretty Green fashion brand to JD Sports
We all know Pretty Green for its paisley shirts and parkers but at the start of April, the fashion label proved that not everything can ‘Live Forever’ and it sadly went into administration. Pretty Green faced many of the same challenges as other high street retailers and was negatively impacted when House of Fraser went into administration, owing the label over half a million pounds. JD Sports have brought the brand and have decided to close all but one of the Pretty Green stores, but you can ‘Stop Crying Your Heart Out’ - Manchester’s flagship store on King Street is staying.
Railway arch to be converted into 400 capacity venue.
Having hosted a few events for culture vultures in recent years, local promotors Strange Days are making things more permanent. The newly-named Fairfield Social Club on Temperance Street will host live music, cinema screenings, exhibitions, stand-up comedy and food events. The venue will launch with two free gigs on 2nd (secret line-up) and 3rd May (Dream Wife, The Ninth Wave and Mealtime). 9

Ross From Friends
All Them Witches
Felix Clary Weatherall is British Producer, Ross From Friends. His musical inspiration came from his dad who created a sound system in the 80s and toured it round to various squat parties. Last year his debut album ‘Family Portrait’ was released by the Flying Lotus’ Brainfeeder label and he has played shows with Little Dragon and held down peak-time slots at Berghain’s Panorama Bar. His upcoming performance at the Ritz will be a true showcase of his versatility as he moves away from his signature lo-fi.
Hard rock three-piece, All Them Witches, are on the road performing their latest album ‘ATW’. Hailing from Nashville, the band formed when bassist and drummer worked together at a ‘corporate hippie’ store and started jamming together. Taking inspiration from the likes of Black Sabbath, Blue Cheer and Dr John, they have a unique meld of crafted songwriting and spacious signature grooves. Selling out shows across the globe, they will be electrifying Band on the Wall.

music transports audiences back to the 1920s. He has taken inspiration from the likes of Fats Waller and “Blind Lemon” Jefferson yet somehow manages to make his music relevant for the here and now.

Sam Fender “What the fuck are those guys on about? Guitar music is alive and fucking kicking!”
that coveted list of artists making waves outside the Top 40. Crowned as the Brit Awards Critics’ Choice for 2019, the twenty-five-year-old has a debut album in the works, a brand new video out for his latest single ‘Hypersonic Missiles’, and a monthly Spotify play count toppling the two-million mark.
It’s safe to say Sam Fender doesn’t concur with the small band of critics claiming guitar-powered songs are on their way out. The singer-songwriter is bubbling with energy for his interview with The Live Guide – eager to defend a genre he’s so passionate about.
“That was what you always got in my house: music and labouring”
“There are fucking loads of incredible guitar bands around. The problem is that people can’t always find them,” Sam tells us. “Not many have musical awareness outside of the charts - which are ruled by songs written by about the same twelve people. It’s fucking insanity. But those who are into music know that there is fucking loads of great stuff out there today.” Some might include Sam himself in
He’s knee-deep in “next big thing” territory, which is all-the-moreimpressive given the fact he was pulling pints in a North East pub just six years ago.
“I’m from North Shields, which is a blue-collar, working-class town full of fucking crazy charvas,” Sam laughs. “I was raised by my dad and my brother who are both musicians. My dad used to play social clubs in the evening and worked as an electrician during the day.”

“That was what you always got in my house: music and labouring
There’d be dad the electrician, Stan the gasman, Frankie who did all the plastering. They were the most blokey blokes on the planet.”
there I actually came home and projectile vomited everywhere…” “I think I’m still getting used to the touring. And all the recognition. I mean The Critics’ Choice Award was crazy. What the fuck happened there? I think it was supposed to be for Lewis Capaldi and they made a mistake.”
“I was the complete opposite, really – shit at football and a total nerd who loved Star Wars.” Working behind the bar at his local boozer one evening, Sam was urged by his boss (a dead ringer for Winston Churchill, we’re told) to grab his guitar and perform a few songs for the crowd.
“The Critics’ Choice Award was crazy. What the fuck happened there?”
The single that kick-started Sam’s remarkable ascent was ‘Play God’ – a song about a dystopian society which he wrote after burying his nose in George Orwell’s ‘Nineteen Eighty-Four’. But not all Sam’s music is inspired by fiction. He penned ‘Dead Boys’ after an all-too-real event where a close friend took his own life, and the song has since helped to raise awareness of mental illnesses in young men.
Ben Howard’s Manager was in the room that night. He liked what he saw and took a contact number.
Now Sam is racking up play counts by the bucket-load. “Everything’s gone a bit mad,” he admits.
“‘Dead Boys’ was born out of a reaction of abject shock,” Sam explains. “I was just trying to articulate how I felt about it. It’s become an anthem for mental health, which is the positive side of it.”
“I’ve just been out on tour in America which was great. Me and the band were ripping the piss out of each other – it was fucking hilarious. I ate so much shit when I was out 19
one done now so I can get back in the studio to write the second!”
Sam has gained attention for tackling a few big topics in his songwriting so far, but he doesn’t consider himself a thought leader or preacher. “I write about what matters to me at the time, I don’t see it as a duty – I’m not on a social crusade with a political agenda,” Sam explains.
Manchester fans won’t have to wait long to hear some of Sam’s latest stuff, either. He’s heading to The O2 Ritz venue in May – and to say he’s excited is something of an understatement. “I cannot wait!” he gushes.
“If something stirs emotion in me and I can express it with conviction, I’ll write about it. The majority of the social commentary in the mainstream is in hip-hop. Alternative guitar music isn’t given the podium it deserves. It’s a shame as there are so many great alternative guitar bands and punk bands out there; Fontaines DC, Idles, Big Thief, A Festival A Parade, Pinegrove. They’re all cool as fuck.”
“I fucking love Manchester. I’ve seen Bruce Springsteen at the Etihad before, Arcade Fire at the Castlefield Bowl. I’ve spent a lot of time in the city, too, dossing around the clothes shop getting all the stupid fucking shirts with bleach on thinking that’s a good idea.” “It’s a cracking city. Great people, good history, good pubs, the architecture with all the red bricks. I love it, it’s just what you want in a city.”
Sam says being in the studio is one of the things he loves most about being a musician, and the release date for his debut LP – scheduled for late summer – is rapidly closing in. “It’s very nearly finished,” he informs us. “This album’s been five years in the making and there’s loads of different stuff on it; eighties-style tunes, three songs with sax, and a few earwormy melodic pop songs, too.”
Sam’s as plain-spoken as ever as our conversation comes to a close, mapping out his plans for 2019 in no-nonsense fashion. “I’m just gonna tour my arse off, work my arse off, and hope to God people like the new album.” Catch Sam Fender in Manchester at the O2 Ritz on Thursday 2nd May.
“Basically I’m gagging to get this 20

May Bank Holiday Guide
May is great. Why? Because we’re treated to not one, but two extra-long weekends in the most glorious of months. That’s an extra day off work, an extra lie-in and more importantly, an extra day to enjoy some of the best live music around, right here in Manchester. From the suburbs to the city centre, we’ve rounded up all the top festivals, gigs, DJ sets and more that you can enjoy on either one of your two Bank Holiday blowouts.
Crazy P
Gorilla 05.05.19 7pm FRM£19.25
A scintillatingly soulful blend of disco, electronic and pop, you'll be grooving your way through your Early May Bank Holiday Sunday with Crazy P. Regarded as one of the best live dance acts on the planet over the last 15 years, the Nottingham outfit are touring their new album, ‘Age of the Ego’ which is released just two days before the gig. It’ll be their second boogie under the railway in less than a year too. Tickets flew out last time, so don’t hang around. 26
Sounds From The Other City Salford 05.05.19 3pm FRM£27.75
How about using your Bank Holiday to discover some exciting new music and art across a bunch of quirky venues in Salford? Sounds From The Other City is a celebration of independence and diversity and plenty of respectable performers have appeared here over the years. Alt-J, Sampha, Go-Go Penguin and IMDDB to name a few. This year promises to be extra special as the festival celebrates its 15th anniversary with more emerging talent set to be showcased.
Dot To Dot
Neighbourhood Weekender
Manchester City Centre 24.05.19 1pm FRM£15
Victoria Park, Warrington 25-26.05.19 2:30pm FRM£105
Nothing quite compares to spending your long weekend losing yourself to some top quality tunes in the great outdoors. And that’s exactly what the Neighbourhood Weekender has in store for us. One of the biggest selling male artists of recent times, George Ezra, headlines the Saturday while Britpop icon and former frontman of The Verve, Richard Ashcroft, tops the bill on Sunday. They’ll be joined down the M62 by the likes of Primal Scream, The Vaccines, The Charlatans, Pale Waves and many more.
27
Dot To Dot is back for another fun-filled Friday of incredible live music. The party will be making its way around the city to more than 13 of our finest venues including Albert Hall, Night & Day, Soup Kitchen and more. Weave your way around town and check out some electro-folk from Crystal Fighters, a bit of soul from multi-instrumentalist Jordan Rakei or indie-rock from the likes of Swim Deep, The Orielles and Mini Mansions. With tickets starting from just £15, don’t miss this Bank Holiday bargain.
May Bank Ho Strummercamp 2019 Oldham Rugby Union Club 24- 26.05.19 3pm FRM£80
Set up by friends of the late, great, Joe Strummer, Strummercamp is a celebration of the former Clash frontman’s life. The line-up is stacked with artists that Strummer himself would approve of including Ruts DC, Duncan Reid and the Big Heads, former Stone Roses guitarist, Aziz Ibrahim and there’s even a tribute to The Clash from the aptly named, London Calling. It’s a not-for-profit event that’s organised and staffed entirely by volunteers. A lovely tribute to an iconic musician and singer.
Manchester Reggae Festival Manchester Academy 04.05.19 11:30pm FRM£11
Manchester’s debut Reggae Festival arrives in the city just in time for the first Bank Holiday of the month. There’ll be two monster rooms of reggae, dub and roots powered by some of the most notorious sound systems in the game. Channel One will be playing all night long in room 1, while Trojan, Supa4 Creation, Iration Steppas and more will be keeping you entertained in room 2. Doors open at 11:30pm and the party will be going on right up until 5am. Get ready to skank all night long.
28
oliday Guide Craig Charles Funk & Soul Club ft. The Allergies & Andy Cooper Band on the Wall 25.05.19 9pm FRM£21
The Craig Charles Funk & Soul Club is a UK clubbing institution. To celebrate the long weekend in true funky fashion, Craig is bringing along groove-merchants The Allergies and Andy Cooper who will be performing live. The Bristol band are inspired by the golden eras of soul, disco, hip-hop and of course, funk. They’re not too shabby on the decks either and are well known for their 45rpm-only sets, so we could well be in for a hidden vintage gem or two.
Buckle & Boots Country Festival 2019 Whitebottom Farm, Stockport 24-26.05.19 11:30am FRM£88.25
Don the stetson hat, pull on a pair of western boots and head down to the Stockport countryside for three days of country music. Boasting the best of the UK’s scene as well as some international chart-toppers from the USA, Canada, Australia and the rest of Europe, there’s something for fans and first-timers alike. If you fancy a break from your waltz, cowboy or two-step, there’s lots of amazing food and drink vendors on site alongside some homely camping facilities.
May Bank Holiday Guide Brit Jam Live O2 Ritz 04.05.19 11pm FRM£16
You may have heard of the Jamaican Spring Break festival, Brit Jam, but you might not have been lucky enough to get over to Montego Bay to experience it. Well fear not Mancunians, you’re in luck. Brit Jam Live is landing right here and you can expect to see some of the best dancehall and hip-hop acts around, including Big Zeeks, Two4Kay and Tyreezy more. Okay, it’s not the beach, but it’ll still be an incredible Bank Holiday bonanza down at the Ritz.
Lost in Music w/ Mousse T. & Boris Dlugosch Joshua Brooks 26.05.19 10pm FRM£11
Lost in Music have come up with the goods again, welcoming two house legends to Manchester to perform together for the first time since playing The Hacienda in 1996. As a Grammy nominee and Traxsource’s #1 House Artist of 2018, Mousse T.’s pedigree speaks for itself. His German comrade Boris Dlugosch has been on the house scene since the early 90s and has had successful releases on huge labels like Classic Music, Defected and Running Back. Now that’s how you celebrate that extra day off.
