About

Bio

Hey! Manchester was established in February 2006 to promote alternative gigs in Manchester. The blog started up because Jens Lekman wasn’t going to play in Manchester and the bloggers wanted him to. The show sold out and everybody was very happy. Since then they’ve promoted shows big and small, and everywhere in between. They strive to offer something different: they use unusual, high-quality venues – their favourites are The Deaf Institute, Dulcimer and The Kings Arms, and some of the more unusual include Godlee Observatory, the Presidential Suite of the Lowry Hotel and St Ann’s Church. The blog posts are written anonymously. Recent entries in the Hey! Manchester blog include Jens Lekman, Sun Kil Moon/Mark Kozelek, Olafur Arnalds, Portico Quartet, Herman Dune, Animal Collective, Of Montreal, Gang Gang Dance, Horse Feathers and Men Diamler, Polar Bear, Dirty Projectors and Lucky Dragons and Wildbirds & Peacedrums and Volcano! PR opportunities include news, reviews and interviews related to Arts and Entertainment, especially Music. The team can best be reached via the contact form on their website or via Twitter where they are active and very responsive.
