Head to Cutting Room Square for gig nights, book clubs and painting classes
LITERATURE, live music, painting classes... Forget MIF, over at Seven Bro7hers Beerhouse in Ancoats, they've got their own culturally-edifying calendar of artistic events happening this July.
Create your own bee in your own style, while enjoying a glass or two of wine.
If you're the type of person who needs a reason to go to the pub, other than just because it's 5pm and you're thirsty, this is your kind of place. Here's what's on:

This young singer-songwriter smashes out classic songs from the likes of Oasis, The Beatles, Arctic Monkeys, and more. And listen out for a couple of his own tracks from his stellar new EP Space or Time.

Ancoats Book Club: Wednesday 17 July, 7pm
This month's book is Carrie Fisher's classic Hollywood breakdown novel Postcards From The Edge. It's funny, fast, and wise and should provoke some lively discussion. Get the book, read it, and go along – it's a friendly, informal group and everyone's welcome.

Ideal Forgery: Thursday 18 July, 7pm
Check out this stripped-back, unplugged set from ones-to-watch Ideal Forgery. Expect 'raw
