Live music performance artist in Manchester

“Doesn't sell food so don't know why there is a waiting for food. Unless drinks class as food. Anyway good club fits about 200 people in there and when it's full it gets hot as it seems to be in a basement not quite sure but it's down stairs anyway. Good bouncers on the door. Good place to go for a night out. Only thing is you have to buy tickets online. But other than that Great place.”

“I have lived at Transmission house since March & love living here. The building team are always really friendly and approachable. Monika is always efficient and happy to help with anything and I always feel safe during the evening with stone & saad on the front desk, thank you for creating such a nice vibe here :)”

“Been to two of these events and YDSA is hands down the best, most inclusive LGBTQ+ night in Manchester! Well organised event in fun venues. Multiple floors of different music. Great diverse crowd. Dancers and music on point.”

“Fantastic dance school Made to feel welcome the minute you walk through the door Endless opportunities for children to thrive in the performing arts”

“I had amazing work done by Adam on my knee, full coverup and I'm blown away by it. All of the other artists & customers are super friendly too- definitely recommend and I'll be back many more times”

“Excellent well run mini theatre, we love the productions they put on.”

“Come one lunchtime (Tuesday/Wednesday or Thursday in term time) to the carol Nash hall to enjoy competent students from Chethams music school. Tickets (free) available on line. There’s soup and a roll available in the foyer for £3.50 in a cup. The music will be classical and perhaps be unknown to some but it’s marvellous to sit in a comfortable modern space. I’ve never so far, been to an evening concert there but intend to now. It’s very handy for Victoria train/ tram station.”

“"Some to Watch over me" absolutely brilliant performances by all the cast. Takes you on an emotional and thought provoking journey. The human will to survive and its sense of humour in all situations. Well done to all involved. A great theatre and very welcoming crew.”

“Absolutely fabulous night watching the production of 'Dad's Army'. Characters were so true to TV adaptation. Singing WW2 songs in the audience really added to the ambience.”

“Great to see the contemporary dance performance 'shed' by the Northern Rascals dance company at the Partington. Such a great performance dealing with timeless issues in a contemporary way in a performance which really spoke to me. Wonderful to have touring acts perform at this venue (let's bring more if we can!) as well as traditional theatre performances by the players.”

“We went for Smugs one man show which was absolutely brilliant, it is a small theatre and worked well to give a really intimate feel. A lot going on behind the scenes to provide such a great show, for me it was everything the theatre should be, special mention for front of house staff who were lovely. Wish them ATB for the future.”

“I’ve only been here twice, but it’s already becoming my favourite coffee shop. As someone who knows a fair bit about coffee quality, I can say their coffee is consistently fresh, well roasted, and clearly high quality. I’ve tried both the espresso and the cortado - the espresso was excellent, and the cortado had beautifully textured milk and was really well balanced. The customer service is honestly the best I’ve experienced in Manchester. Today, the tall guy behind the counter was genuinely interested in how my day was before even taking my order, which felt refreshing and sincere rather than scripted. Little things like that make a big difference. I’ll definitely keep coming back.”

“My wife and I visit Scona every Sunday morning for a treat whilst our kids are at a local yoga class. The scones are AMAZING, obviously, but so are the breakfasts and drinks. Excellent service, too. Roll on Sunday! :)”

“Brilliant place with a great atmosphere. Very comfortable and welcoming with extremely friendly volunteers running it. Brings a real sense of community which is part of the aim. They run a fab cafe with some very different choices of food and also include vegetarian and vegan options too. Events and projects for the community run during the day and the evening. There's a bar for evening events which serves a great selection of drinks at incredibly reasonable prices. A very relaxed informal welcoming place. Open mic night is lots of fun with anyone and everyone encouraged to get up and play or sing. Very eclectic with something for everyone. Lots of local artisans and artists sell their wares here too and there are lots of plans in the pipeline yet to come”

“Went to watch Cinderella over the Christmas period. The cast were brilliant and the script very well written. As others have mentioned, the ugly sisters were the stars of the show with lots of interaction with the audience. Overall, very good value for money on the initial purchasing of tickets and what the play delivered. I wasn't sure on the parking arrangements and it appears limited where you can park but there were some spaces behind and around the row of shops. We caught the bus to the local precinct and walked the 10 minutes so that is a viable option. The venue itself has food and drink on sale that is very reasonably priced and you can pay both with cash and card. It is a small venue that until recently I did not know even existed. It's intimate and seating, while seen better days, was adequate and even after the near 3 hours being there, was not feeling uncomfortable. Overall, an enjoyable way to spend an afternoon with family”

“Fantastic theatre experience! The performances are always high quality, and the staff are friendly and helpful. Great atmosphere and a perfect place to enjoy live shows. Highly recommend visiting Quays Theatre!”

“Went to see STUART MICHAEL. Would definitely recommend! It was my first ever show of this kind. It was packed out! Would suggest getting there at least half hour before any show starts to get a carpark space behind the theatre.”

“First time I attended a concert (Howard Jones)here. Acoustics were fabulous and I found the staff to be very professional and courteous. Thank you for making the night even more memorable.”

“Lovely place to hang out..such good vibes! Enjoyed the vegan pizza pocket n juice!”

“A perfect representation of community theatre and all that it embodies. A truly valued asset that is kept vibrant, modern and popular by all that support and maintain the building. Accessibility is great and cares for its older members. A centre point for home grown, natured talent that is of a professional standard in all aspects of theatre from stage, performance, lighting and backstage. I encourage all to visit, support in any way you can. A real jewel nestled in the High Peak.”

“A lovely little theater with a really warm and friendly welcome. The play we saw there was locally written with local actors and was very well done as well as very moving. It was a quality that could easily be performed at a much bigger theatre.”

“We really enjoyed the sound of music, great little theatre. Well worth it”

“Beautiful location. First class show and amazing volunteers running the theatre.”
