Skinny Living @ The Deaf Institute
Thursday 14th March
These lads from Wakefield will be hitting up Deaf Institute this week and there’s still a few tickets knocking about if you’ve not had the chance to get online and buy some. They’re an ‘indie-rock collective’ which basically means you should expect leather jackets, tight jeans and around 16 guitars.
Ady Suleiman @ Manchester Academy
Thursday 14th March
Ady has a voice like butter, but not that kind of butter that you buy to spread on your toast – proper butter, the kind of stuff you use to make pastry for pies or cakes. His music is an eclectic mix of reggae acoustics, pop and slow jams and if you want to see him – click below for tickets.
1990-1999 ft Shola Ama + Alison Limerick @ Albert Hall
Friday 15th March
You get 3 for the price of one down at the Albert Hall this Friday with a packed night of some of the greatest 90’s hit you can ever imagine. There’ll be tunes throughout the night, but also a couple of special LIVE appearances from Shola Ama and Alison Limerick who, if you don’t know their names, you’ll definitely know their tunes. I’ll see you there!
The Wailers @ Manchester Academy
Saturday 16th March
You probably know The Wailers from their association with reggae legend Bob Marley but since his death they’ve managed to make a pretty word for themselves in their own right. As our music contributor Melanie explains; “It will be good vibes throughout, sing along with some huge hits, go home smoke a massive fat one and pretend to be Jamaican”.
The Japanese House @ Manchester Academy
Saturday 16th March
It may sound like one of them trendy guitar bands but The Japanese House is in fact just one woman – Amber Bain who decided to call herself Japanese House after a particularly enjoyable stay in a gaff in Tokyo. She was so impressed with their futuristic toilet that she’s never been able to forget it. She’ll be heading to Academy 2 this Saturday.
Nicki Minaj & Future @ Manchester Arena
Monday 18th March
Nicki Minaj is in town next week and there are still tickets flying around for her gig at the Manchester Arena. Don’t ask me why it hasn’t sold out yet – I wouldn’t even like to begin to speculate I’m afraid. Could it be because everyone has forgotten about her? Or is it because it’s on a Monday. I dunno (and I don’t really care either).
