October really means Autumn now doesn’t it? And while the summer certainly feels a world away, there’s still some festival fun to be had! Neighbour Festival hits Manchester on Sat 12 Oct – held at various venues around the city and hosting a lot of local talent such as Larkins, PINS, LOAState, Mealtime, and Phoebe Green amongst many many more. Up the road in Stockport, there’s the Mercury Climbing music and arts festival running from Sep 27 – Oct 4 – be sure to catch acts like ARGH KiD and Fuzzy Sun there. Northern Quarter’s Jimmy’s plays host to Snatched – an event “showcasing the hottest acts around” with local bands like The Big Peach, The Be Positives and Kula Bay gracing the bill. All these artists (and more) can be found on our mixed bag playlist for October. Packed with local talent – both up-and-coming and established – the MCR Wire List gives you a selection of tracks to wrap your ears around and catch playing in and around the city this next month!
