22.Spinningfields summer music: Is it just me…(Thursday 26th of June 2008 08:49:12 PM 1 week, 5 days ago )
… or does the ad on the back of this week’s UrbanLife state the obvious about string quartets?
Anyway, hair-splitting aside, this weekend’s free Spinningfields summer music concerts sound great, especially Litmus who ‘recreate music by famous Manchester bands including Oasis, Joy Divison, James and The Smiths’. More information...

23.Summer in the Park at Platt Fields(Thursday 26th of June 2008 11:38:07 AM 1 week, 5 days ago )
If you’re up for a big weekend a fortnight from now, why not combine the aforementioned Chorlton Beer Festival with Summer in the Park, which takes place at Platt Fields Park in Fallowfield on 12 and 13 July.

25.Chorlton Beer Festival 08 at St Clement’s Church(Wednesday 25th of June 2008 10:39:23 AM 1 week, 6 days ago )
I’m also getting plenty of traffic from people desperate for news on this year’s Chorlton Beer Festival. The host church, St Clement’s on Hardy Lane, hasn’t updated its website since last July, which is leading to some confusion.
Thankfully, however, there’s good news: Chorlton Beer Festival will return for its...

26.Hi World!(Monday 23rd of June 2008 11:01:39 AM 2 weeks, 1 day ago )
I’m the new editor for the MyManchester.net website. We’ve got 12 websites providing community information for Manchester. We post jobs, events, training and courses that are happening all over the city. But above all, we’re here to try and get YOU to have your say. We’ve got forums and bulletin...
27.Zorbing/sphering near Manchester(Friday 20th of June 2008 03:33:54 PM 2 weeks, 4 days ago )
I’ve been getting a number of hits lately for “zorbing Manchester”, something I mentioned briefly last September.
For those who think that rolling downhill at 60kmph in a giant plastic bubble is a Good Idea (it’s supposedly a summer pursuit after all), you’ll be glad to hear that the...

28.The Best of Manchester Awards 2008(Thursday 19th of June 2008 12:35:18 PM 2 weeks, 5 days ago )
You’ve probably seen it advertised around town, but the deadline for this year’s Best of Manchester Awards is fast approaching so its organisers are making one last push for entries.
The annual competition, hosted by Urbis, ‘celebrates innovation in art, music and fashion’. This deliberately broad scope means art,...

29.TRIP 2008: A Manchester psychogeography festival(Wednesday 18th of June 2008 03:28:11 PM 2 weeks, 6 days ago )
I’ve touched on psychogeography here a few times before and, what with it getting mainstream coverage of late, it’s convenient that Manchester is currently hosting not one but two psychogeography festivals.
Territories Reimagined: International Perspectives, or TRIP for short, runs from Thursday 19 June until Saturday (and beyond) and...

30.The inaugural Not Part of Festival(Tuesday 17th of June 2008 12:33:41 PM 3 weeks ago )
You may recall that a fringe-of-sorts ran alongside last year’s Manchester International Festival. Its organisers then returned in mid-January, for Not Part of New Years Eve - and they’re now makes a third outing for their own arts festival this summer.
Lasting 10 days (3-12 July), the inaugural festival features...
