Indie BRASS Club at The Deaf Institute – 15 October 2026
Indie BRASS Club is a brilliant night out for anyone who loves live brass band music with a modern twist, blending traditional instrumentation with indie and alternative sounds. Happening Thursday 15 October at 7pm, it's the kind of Manchester gig that gets people talking – expect energetic performances, a buzzing crowd, and tunes that'll have you moving. At just £14 a ticket, it's decent value for a proper night of live music, and the 14+ age restriction means younger music fans can get involved too.
The Deaf Institute on Oxford Road is one of Manchester's best-loved independent venues, sat right in the heart of the city's cultural quarter. The intimate setting gives you real closeness to the performers while still having that proper club atmosphere, and the venue's got serious heritage – it's hosted everyone from up-and-coming acts to established names over the years.
Getting there's easy – Oxford Road's well-connected by tram and bus, with the city centre just a short walk away. Arrive early to grab a good spot near the stage, and come ready to dance; brass club nights tend to get properly lively as the evening goes on. It's the kind of gig that represents what makes Manchester's live music scene so creative and welcoming.
