Hey! Manchester promotes gigs by folk, Americana and experimental bands from around the world in Manchester, England. Read more here, see below for our latest shows, check out our previous shows, contact us, or join our mailing list, above.
Beans on Toast is a British folk artist who we have worked with since 2013 – promoting 17 of his shows in this time, mostly in Manchester.
In recent years, we have invited Beans on Toast to perform at The Strines Nightingale – a lovely country pub situated between New Mills and Marple. In July 2024 he played on the pub’s newly established ‘woodland stage‘ to a sold out crowd of 150 people. Audience feedback included:
‘What a treat to be able to walk to such a glorious gig, surrounded by trees’
‘The legend that is Beans on Toast playing a gig in some woods down the back of a pub near Stockport’
‘Great night with good vibes and amazing people watching @kingkillership @beans.on.toast thanks for the lift guys. What a venue for a hot sunny day @strinesnightingale love you guys’

With the show being an all-round success, Beans on Toast made a return visit the following July – playing to an even larger crowd this time. Feedback included:
‘Beans on Toast gave proper woodland folk vibes last night
Been seeing him for like 10 years now and the Strines Nightingale gigs are always my fave. Such a cool little venue on the edge of the Peaks, always feels magic
Loved seeing that Glasto tree planted after it was just a baby in a pot last year’

Since then, Beans on Toast chose The Strines Nightingale as the venue to host his album launch show in December 2025 – yet another sell out – and has even made a song and music video featuring The Nightingale:
