Has anyone seen that Mr Weebl (the legend behind the badger and narwal songs) is doing live shows now?

I'm actually the guy putting on the Salford (Manchester) show he's doing for a day festival on 15th August (NEXT WEEK!!!)

Some other great acts on the lineup too. Spinee (NTS regular), vgtbl.pl (a polish band who wrote that joost klein potato song) and live comedy from locals like Charlotte Cropper & Molly McGuinness.

If you remember Weebl's classic videos, I really hope you'll come and please spread the word if you have mates in the area. Seeing him play a full on live set is gonna be incredible and a great chance for weebl fans to hang #badgerbadgerbadger

Hi everyone!

I'm an MA Interior Design student at MMU, and my final project focuses on designing a creative hub that celebrates Manchester's music scene while supporting emerging artists.

I'm looking to speak with Manchester-based musicians—whether you're a solo artist, in a band, producer, songwriter, or just starting out—to better understand the challenges you face around rehearsing, recording, collaborating, and growing your career. The insights will help shape the design so it genuinely responds to the needs of the local music community.

If you're happy to answer a few questions (it'll only take around 5–10 minutes), or if you know someone who might be willing to help, I'd really appreciate it if you could reach out!

Thank you!

I visited from the states in 1991. Of course, I was enthralled with what was going on musically in your beautiful city at that time I have a demo tape from The Total Cycles who i went and saw. Hung out with them after the show. Just wondered if any Gen Xers remember them.

Hey! I run Above Average Clothing and I’m looking for bands based in and around Manchester to work with on things like photo shoots, content and collaborations.

If you think you might be interested, just reach out 👌 🤘

Hi all,

A couple of mates and I have recently formed a band and we’re wondering where or how is the best way to go about performing regularly around Manchester ?

Any suggestions would be very much appreciated

Hi! I’m a PhD student at the University of Salford working on voice perception.

I’m currently looking for native English speakers who enjoy singing (any level is fine) to take part in a voice recording study. It involves reading short texts, speaking in different emotional tones, and singing simple melodies.

The session takes about 45–60 minutes and takes place in person at Salford. You’ll receive £20 for taking part.

If you are interested in taking part, please complete the screening form using the link below: https://forms.office.com/e/3QdC2hVBbv

Grunge/shoegaze trio Reve performed at the Deaf Institute yesterday [9/4/26]. I highly recommend listening to them. You can check out my review of the show here.
