It's been another busy month for Manchester's music scene. From spell-binding electronic duos at Yes, raucous rockers at the Academy, and dream-pop in Gorilla, the city has once again delivered on its promise as the music capital of the UK.
As the nights get longer, and the dilemma as whether or not to wear a jacket to a gig gets more difficult, the M.E.N has been out on the beat getting the reviews from the small gigs which matter in the city. Gold stars go to Real Lies, Alvvays, and Gabriels for electrifying shows, especially.
Now we're in November, we've also previewed the best gigs for this month, too. Top picks include Kojey Radical, Upsahl, and Courtney Barnett.
