This Girl and her Kicks

It was a week before Christmas and all through the town, were mad shoppers and students having breakdowns.  Well not to worry, I've found a safe haven,  away from the hustle and bustle of the city centre and a stones throw away from  the universities and libraries.  It's the perfect place to pop in from  blusterous winds and a sweet haven in the summer time, Cuthbert's Bakehouse on Mount Pleasant.

   Just before Christmas I ventured to Manchester as a christmas present from the Mr. I took  my aunty, who'd come down for the festive season, to her first gig, a Liam Fray acoustic gig. What a treat. For those of you who don't know, Liam Fray fronts The Courteeners, a Manchester indie band with a huge following and massive tunes, the kind you wanna be swigging cider to at a festival in the beaming sunshine.

    Way back at the beginning of October, I attended possibly one of my favourite gigs of the year. Tucked round the corner from Bumper, myself and a few friends hobbled down the cobbles to The Pilgrim, which was bursting with punters and friendly faces eagerly awaiting the nights gig put on by Rogue Gallery Promotions.  After grabbing our pints we headed up the iron staircase to the even smaller room and settled ourselves in what space we could find. The Pilgrim is a cosy little pub, with wooden booths, long benches, cheap drinks, complete with its own sheltered beer garden. Upstairs is even smaller, so for you claustrophobics and people who suffer from anxiety bare that in mind,  but do not let it put you off, it creates the perfect gig atmosphere, one you do not want to miss out on, ever.
