It's been a busy few months for Manchester's music scene. We've just wrapped up the best from October, which spanned spell-binding electronic duos at Yes, dream-pop at Gorilla and some raucous rockers at the Academy.
Now, we know the clocks have gone back and the nights are beginning to draw in, so making the call on whether to venture out into the cold is a bit more tricky, but the team here at the M.E.N. have been busy finding the best gigs taking place this November - the ones worth leaving the house for for.
From the return eclectic Bristol-based five piece Ishmael Ensemble blending elements of jazz, electronic and dub, and the fun-loving Aussie, Courtney Barnett, known for their witty lyrics and gritty vocals, to the Arizona native Taylor Upsahl - known synonymously as UPSAHL - who is taking both the internet and the music industry by storm, there's something for all tastes this November.
