Advice...

not been to 42nd since the mid 90s and surprised its still going!

The Ranch - Now there was a real club.

Manchester these days is generally known for Indie/House music for a night out (or I that just where I always end up?). Honestly, I could not tell you any clubs/bars that play RnB. Like gratedbean said above you're probably best off heading for the more commercial Printworks for that kind of music. Think Sankey's would be a bit too much for an out of town RnB listener

Preferred jillys and swinging sporran in my twenties

Good shout, the Sporran knocked out a decent tune.

the Sporran..........happy days..i was in there the day John Lennon was murdered and i told the DJ to stop playing Bowie's song New Yorks a go go...
elvis behind the bar..........and Costas did a runner with the takings...

the Pheonix.........rock on........big steve and southern boogie.

and Jillys 1 .near piccadilly...
.the one that burnt down because the owners and bouncers upset the wrong people...
thats the place where i still carry a scar on my forehead when i burnt the tache of a bouncer when he asked me for a light............he was not amused.


but revenge is best served cold..or flaming hot as they say.....but it was nowt to do with me.........

Think you might right on that one

wasnt Rafters (bit swanky) opposite the Long Bar on Oxford Road...or was that Rafters.
*******

Meant was that Rotters

We didn't give a monkeys about Music. Clubs in Town in them days were the only place you could get after hours drinking. And (very) easy women.

You couldn't beat Kloisters and Tiffany's on a Saturday night down Oxford Road for a bit of how's yer father I am aware that they no longer exist but their memory lingers on.
