Those Holy and Scania are joining Another Country for what promises to be an electric evening of proper guitar-driven tunes, and at just £7.50 a ticket, it's one of the best value gigs you'll find around. This is the kind of grassroots Manchester show that keeps the city's music scene thriving, perfect for anyone who wants to discover fresh talent without breaking the bank.
