That Manchester Sound

A tribute night at Alexander's Live in Chester devoted to the bands that put Manchester on the map, performed by That Manchester Sound. The programme covers indie, Britpop and Madchester material.

That Manchester Sound is a tribute act, so the evening is a celebration of Manchester bands rather than a performance by the groups themselves. The material listed for the night includes songs by Oasis, The Stone Roses, James, Happy Mondays, Inspiral Carpets, The Charlatans, The Smiths, Joy Division and The Courteeners, along with other artists from the city's scene.

The set moves between Britpop and the psychedelic sound of the Madchester era, drawing on both the early and later waves of Manchester guitar music. The show is staged at Alexander's Live, a venue at Northgate Street in Chester that mainly hosts pop, rock and indie concerts.
