The Manchester Academy

Manchester Academy has 3 venues (only the main 1 of which I have visited). It is amongst the best I have been 2, but that is probably more to do with the bands I have seen there and how drunk I have or have not been (ranging from Blur and Carter USM back in the early 90's to Roots Manuva, AIM and Roni Size more recently). If one of your favourite bands are ever playing there then I suggest that you go! Mixed crowd (again depending on the gig), but it is in the heart of studentville so expect a few of them.
