An Evening with Jimi Goodwin
Get ready for an intimate night of music when Jimi Goodwin from iconic Manchester band Doves takes the stage at Northenden Players Theatre on Saturday 8 August 2026. Hosted by Guy Garvey of Elbow, this is a rare chance to hear from one of the city's most influential alternative rock musicians in a stripped-back setting that promises genuine conversation and acoustic performances. At just £20, it's an unmissable opportunity for anyone who appreciates quality Manchester music and wants to hear stories from the man behind classics like "There Goes the Fear" and "Black and White."
Didsbury's Northenden Players Theatre is a beloved local venue that's hosted countless gigs and theatrical productions, giving it real character and authenticity. The intimate space creates the perfect atmosphere for this kind of evening, where you'll feel close to the artists rather than lost in a massive crowd.
Doors open at 19:00 with a 16+ age restriction, so it's accessible for older teenagers too. The venue is easily reached via Metrolink or local buses, with decent parking nearby. Arrive early to soak up the atmosphere, grab a drink, and settle in for what promises to be a special night celebrating Manchester's musical heritage.
