That's the reason I went there a year ago. Anyway, when I was there I stayed at Manchester Hatters and was very pleased with it, pleasant accomodation and very near the city centre. It's pretty cheap, around the equivalent of $25 a night (or so it was last year).

Yes, but in all honesty, unless your "musical heroes" are playing a gig theres not much point. I mean, are you going to spend a shitload of money to go and see the flats where the Hacienda used to be? Just search on t'internet and finding a picture wont be too hard.
Personally, I wouldnt bother in August, theres jack shit on in town because everyone is doing the festivals. Wait until the gig scene picks up again in October/November. The only thing happening in Manc this August is my Birthday. Which i'll be celebrating at V Fest anyway.
There's always stuff to do in Manchester;
It's just when you live in a place you get kinda used to it so stop doing new things, I don't know of any mancs that have done the touristy stuff...But that's not to say it wouldn't be fun.
yep, theres always stuff to do...
no name bands (appearing every night at Night and Day Cafe!) getting pissed, and being attacked by scum! Never a dull moment!

Exactly plenty to be doing
i wouldnt be visiting be if my friend wasnt there. The fact that NO is from manchester is an added bonus.
Manchester is brilliant! Have always spent lots of time there...............
But it it's nothing compared to London- can't beat that skyline on the Thames!

You just described my new years 2004! Went to night and day (I don't think it was dry bar but I can't remember) got drunk and then me and the guy I was living with at the time got jumped in the taxi queue by some Salford kids in front of the hotel thistle so we spent the night in A&E
Fun times that Manchester place
holiday in Manc? Detroit might be closer. I've never been to Manchester and have no desire to, ever. I've been in/out of enough towns over there to know better. Okay, that wasn't very positive, was it? How 'bout a train ride trough there? Forgive me if I'm wrong..
