Jazz Emu brings their distinctive blend of groovy, experimental jazz to Manchester on Sunday 20 September 2026 at the New Century Hall. "The Pleasure Is All Yours" promises an evening of inventive musicianship and laid-back vibes that'll appeal to both jazz aficionados and anyone after a proper night of live culture in the city. This is the kind of gig that reminds you why Manchester's music scene remains so buzzing.
The New Century Hall sits right in the heart of Manchester's cultural quarter, making it a top-notch spot for live performances with brilliant acoustics and an intimate feel despite its decent capacity. The venue's reputation for hosting quality artists means you'll be in good company with a proper crowd who knows their music. It's the sort of place where you can actually hear every note without getting battered by a thousand elbows.
Getting there's straightforward – the venue's well-connected by tram and bus, with plenty of nearby parking if you're driving. Doors open at 20:00, so aim to arrive a bit earlier to grab a drink and settle in. Fair warning: Jazz Emu gigs tend to sell out, so get your tickets sorted soon rather than leaving it till the last minute.
