Ok-so there's no Manicured Noise reformation, and it's a little after the fact, (and the release of the critically acclaimed Northern Stories 1978/80 compilation) - but join us at the Night And Day Cafe, Manchester-Friday June 1st for:

 Discontent-A Night Of Manicured Noise. With guest DJ sets by Jon Savage ( England's Dreaming/Teenage) John Kertland (CTR) Steve Walsh (Manicured Noise) Hayden (CTR) 2 Kilos Of Funk.

"An evening of forward looking nostalgia for the grim and discontented days of the late 70's".......Come along and sample a suitably angular sound clash-with everything from the Tintern Abbey to Chic in evidence (I should imagine) Visuals too-with Posters and Cds available.

Like the man said "Celebrate and Cogitate"!

Tickets available: £5 Advance from Piccadilly Records/The Night And Day Cafe (0161) 236 4597 /or from CTR "Contact" button on this website. £6 on the door.
