The Underworld: at Jilly's no more!

I was called just now by one of the DJs at Jilly’s to be told that our music playing services are no longer required in Room 1 on Fridays at Jilly’s.

The instant reaction by text message and on Facebook has been quite moving and slightly surprising. Numerous friends and regulars are understandably upset that the management of Rockworld have made this decision. Sadly we fear it is another nail in the coffin of the venue as numbers dwindle and the alternative scene in Manchester takes its business elsewhere.

Its residency at Jilly’s having spanned three decades (originally starting downstairs), The Underworld is now in search of a new home. In the meantime, here are other nights we should not forget to support:

• Ara and Aerial (on Facebook)
• SHOCK @ Club Phoenix (on Facebook)
• analoguetrash (on Facebook)
• Club Lash (on Facebook)

Further afield in the north of England:

• SyN (on Facebook)
• ReVolution (on Facebook)
• Dark Cide (on Facebook)
• The Wendy House and Mutate (on Facebook)
