Edit: Manchester Online says this:

"Factory 1st Birthday @ Dry Bar, Friday This Friday the Factory Records shop celebrates its first birthday with a party at Dry Bar, which also serves as a pre launch party for their online record store. So go and help them celebrate, it lasts 12 hours (6pm–6am), there are free shots on the door, giveaways, drinks promos, fire eaters and much ‘drunken debauchery’. DJs include: Jay Prescott, Mark OD, Prophecy, Dave Muirhead, Fuse DJs, KTB, and Instinct, to name a few. All for only £3!!!"

l8rs,

Nick ;)

i went in dry a couple of days ago and its a fucking tip. it was full of those little flies you get if rubbish has been left for too long and the toilets were almost overflowing with piss. absolutely hanging.

and they serve food as well....fuck that!!!

The shop is a complete swizz - it's got Fac- all to do with Factory records - they just nicked the graphics and Ben Kelly design elements and basically used that to conceal a shoddy stall selling over priced "dance" records and all manner of other "rave" shite - shitty genres that are already over-supplied in Manchester (like Eastern Block on the opposite corner) as it is. I spoke to the guy at Vinyl Revival about this "new" shop on Church Street and he snorted his derision - if anything he has the best collection of Factory-related stuff in the city now cos very few other shops bother stocking the items.

People who are new to Manchester thinking of visiting this place "Factory" are advised to steer clear and head for Vinyl Revival or Vox Pops instead - cos you will only be disappointed..... don't be fooled.
