The Knowhere Guide

The Local Music Scene in Levenshulme, Greater Manchester*

Levenshulme, Greater Manchester Record Shops and Venues

Record Shops

• there aint any in levenshulme at the mo that arnt dedicated to back street boys and spice girls
• Have a record shop down the far end of Stockport rd, really cheap they practically give their products away!
• There are no record shops in Levenshulme apart from Kwik Save, which sells your SClubs, Steps, Kylies etc etc

Clubs (Dance Music) and Music Bars

• erm...the palace, if u dont mind the people and u just wanna dance!
• It's simple, GO TO THE CITY CENTRE if you want clubs, all of Levenshulme's clubs involve street brawls and people of the "are you starin at my pint!" genre.
• The Palace. Quite a big place, two rooms, well established. Most of the time it attracts a shirts'n'skirts type crowd - not advised - but it does have weekly 'student' nights, which mean the crowd isn't quite so scary and they do have local live bands on from time to time. Not great, but OK. If you really can't be bothered with the 10 minutes journey into Manchester.
• The Palace nightclub on Stockport Road. This building used to be a cinema or something, but now is the home of a dangerous club full of psychos, out for beer and beatings.

Live Music Venues

• Aah...again the palace, but when they have bands playin the crowds tend to be more attractive and (more importantly) friendlier.
• Irish bands in some of the pubs.

The Knowhere Guide started out as a list of places to skateboard in the UK. It is a compilation of (unedited) information and views supplied by users like yourself. It is not a conventional tourist guide!

In most cases, the information in each section has been submitted by more than one contributor (the credits at the bottom of the page list some, but not all, of the contributors) and some of it dates back to the 1970s.

We make no claims as to the accuracy of the information in the Guide - our only purpose is to provide a forum for users to share their knowledge and opinions. So please keep a large bag of salt handy and be prepared to read between the lines!

If you disagree with a comment, or information is out of date, please submit an update! The contributors come from all walks of life, and their opinions are bound to be subjective, so if your view isn't represented, please speak up and contribute to the balance of the Guide. See below in the 'Have Your Say' section for how to add your voice.

If we have helped you out or made you laugh you can buy us a pint.
