The week in gigs: 2-8 February 2009
Each week we’ll be rounding up the gigs happening in Manchester. Here’s our first set of recommendations:
Humble Soul and Red Deer Club present Icelandic composer/producer Valgeir Sigurðsson at the much under-used Cross Street Chapel on Monday. Support comes from two of Manchester’s best folk acts in Nancy Elizabeth and Danny Saul. More info and tickets. NB: Now cancelled due to the snow!
Wot God Forgot bring Glissando to town (Retro Bar to be exact) on Wednesday… if you like Low, Stars of the Lid, Bat for Lashes etc, then give this Leeds-based band a try. Support from Fonix, A Middle Sex and Charlie’s Hero. More information.
Max Tundra plays a Bring on the Dancing Horses show at the Deaf Institute on Friday. Liverpool’s excellent Wave Machines join May 68 on this lineup. More information.
Finally, Peter Broderick – whose link with Horse Feathers we mentioned yesterday – plays his first headlining show, at Academy 3 on Sunday. Tickets.
Plus here are a couple of newly confirmed shows for later in the year:
Andrew Bird at Academy 3 on Wednesday 13 May
Deerhunter at the Deaf Institute on Tuesday 19 May

Max Tundra was typically great, and showed his prowess with Google Maps when he said, drolly: “Anyone here from Didsbury?”
