I'm heading to Manchester on Friday for Big Special at New Century Hall.
That will be followed over the next five months by further trips up to the Academy 2 (Bar Italia), twice to Aviva Studios (Big Thief & Agnes Obel) and also the fantastic Albert Hall (Aldous Harding).
New Century Hall , I know it well spent many a hour attending regional conferences and other cooperative group events. Over the years its hosted many concerts from Jimi Hendrix , Jerry Lee Lewis to The Hollies, The Kinks. Even then odd 80's acid house party, the space was also a very popular function space for weddings. I've not seen been in new Century house or the wider coop buildings since the big redevelopment got finished. Though I know detailed information about it as I was round and involved. In parts of it when the work was done on wider plan for the site.
