The Manchester music scene is synonymous with a lot of genres but blues is perhaps not the foremost soundtrack to our rainy city, and this is where Abattoir Blues comes in to cause a stir. They are a Manchester based label and night at the Northern Quarter’s Castle Hotel that curates evenings with the best blues-inspired line-ups and they record the resulting ear milk. Now they have curated an all dayer with two stages: Abattoir Blues at The Castle Hotel and Interstellar Overdrive at Gullivers to bring you over 15 bands of psych, garage and blues delight, including The Rag N Bone Man, Bones Shake, Delta Mainline, The Watchmakers plus more.
Sat 11 Oct, The Castle Hotel/Gullivers, 66 Oldham Street, Manchester, M4 1LE/109 Oldham Street, Manchester, M4 1LW, 3pm, £8, www.ticketline.co.uk
