On Thursday 13th December we're having our second Midweek Music Club annual awards and Party. It's a celebration of live music in Manchester, not just our gigs but a recognition of all the good work and amazing music being generated by the grass roots and emerging scene in Manchester.

We've picked a panel to pick the awards for the night and I tihnk anyone that's been to a gigs in Manchester will know the panel members well and agree that they represent 1000s of combined gig attendances each year....

We are delighted to announce this year's panel is:

Andy Iveson / Gary M Hough / Mark Hutchinson / Mark Sanderson / Hilary Clarke

We'll be inviting live performances and generally having a good night.

We're trying to avoid selling tickets if we can and fill the venue with invited guests and make a contribution to a Manchester charity to be decided.

Watch this space and we hope to see you there.
