The Night at the MSG idea came from comments in this thread.

No, we won't have Paul Simon et Al (you can call him that), but a number of artists local to Manchester who used to play at and visit the MSG in its heydays have said they will come along and play.

These include: Marie Little, Arthur Wakefield, Tony Downes of the Beggarmen, Pat Ryan, Pete Ryder, Gary and Vera Aspey, The Hometowners, John Howarth of the Oldham Tinkers, possibly Alan Bell, possibly Tony Kelly ... and we're still taking names. (Stanley Acc will be one of the MC's)


In addition, we have contacted a lot of the guests of the MSG and have received messages, stories and some CD's for Raffle Prizes from such people as Rosie Hardman, Mary Humphries, Christy Moore, Chris Simpson of Magna Carta, Barbara Dickson ..... and more will follow, I hope.

It should be a good night with a whole load of nostalgia. We may also be producing recordings of the songs and the memories ...
