The £5 'rush-hour' after work gigs coming to Manchester - and you can pre-order your drinks

manchestereveningnews.co.uk:

A wave of £5 after-work ‘rush hour’ gigs are set to come to Manchester to show off up-and-coming musical talent. The shows will take place at The Stoller Hall, opposite Victoria Station, and will start at 6pm.

They will last for an hour, so commuters can enjoy the music instead of sitting in traffic or packing into a train carriage.

To make it easier to unwind, punters can also pre-order drinks before the gig starts and collect it when they arrive. The classical gigs start in mid-September and will run until March 2024.
