The Rundown
Over the past week we’ve had an array of music hosted at Albert Hall! It’s been nearly a week since the legendary Lightning Seeds came to the stage with a ballad of their most reputable music compiled into one album, ‘Tomorrow’s Here Today.’ We had another iconic band enter our hall too, Travis delivered an unbelievable return show focused around their recent album ‘L.A Times.’ The night finished with Why Does It Always Rain On Me?, a testament to the typical Manchester weather that came down on us all night (thanks storm Darragh!).
Saturday hosted Kompnd, an immersive club night focused around afrobeats, amapiano, RnB and dancehall – and it wasn’t one to miss! The hall was packed, drinks were flowing and we were wall to wall dancing. We’re glad Kompnd chose our venue to celebrate three years of the collective!
On top of this busy week, we had two sold out bingo shows! Fear not – we still have some Bongo’s Bingo shows available during the festive season and throughout January – GET THEM HERE
