The Soundtrack Of Manchester
Other than "How do you guys seriously go out every night?", "How was your head this morning?" and "Can you buy me a drink?", the question we get asked the most at ManchesterBars.com is...
"Can you recommend a bar that plays cheesy pop / r'n'b / jazz / funky house / classic rock / drum'n'bass / folk / soul / indie / hip hop / rock'n'roll / Madchester / chart hits / trance / classical / country & western / Belgian electronica?" [delete as applicable]
So. with that in mind, we decided to put together the ultimate Spotify Playlist of songs we have heard on our travels around the bars and nightclubs in Manchester.
There's bound to be something here that takes your fancy.
This is the soundtrack of Manchester!
