Northern Notes – A gig for Teenage Cancer Trust
Northern Notes is a brilliant free music gig happening at the Grafton Arms on Oxford Road this Sunday, 7 June 2026, kicking off at 2pm. It's a proper feel-good event supporting the Teenage Cancer Trust, so you'll be having a great time while helping a really important cause. Whether you're into live music or just fancy a Sunday afternoon with a difference, this one's worth putting in your diary.
The Grafton Arms sits right in the heart of Oxford Road, one of Manchester's best spots for live music and a proper community vibe. This legendary venue has hosted countless local gigs and has that authentic Manchester atmosphere you won't find in the big corporate joints. It's the kind of place where you bump into mates and discover new bands all in one afternoon.
Getting there's dead easy – Oxford Road's right in the city centre with buses running constantly, or it's a quick walk from Piccadilly station. Turn up early to grab a good spot and soak up the atmosphere before the music starts. It's free entry, so bring some mates, maybe grab a drink at the bar, and support a brilliant cause while enjoying some proper live music. You can't ask for much better than that on a Sunday afternoon in Manchester.
