Manchester's Channel M cuts the City Social and all music coverage
Earlier this week, a friend in Manchester dropped some bad news on me, that local station Channel M was dropping its excellent "City Social" program and all of its music coverage. This was a particularly good spot for Britain's (and the rest of the world's) upcoming indie elite to get their foot in the door in England. At least 20 of the bands we've covered here were featured on "City Social" in the past year.
To mourn the loss of this great program, here are some of our favorite performances on this Manchester staple.
(The Joy Formidable starts 1:48 into the program)
(The Kabeedies)
(The Answering Machine)
(Bombay Bicycle Club)
(Wintermute)
