What's on in Manchester? (That's a question, not an announcement.)

Here's what I know about. Hopefully more knowledgeable people can provide updates & corrections, and less interested people can ignore. I'm concentrating on clubs and singarounds rather than sessions, but only because that's where my interest lies.

Weekly:
Swinton Folk Club (Monday)
Midway (ex-Red Bull), Stockport (Monday)
the Crown, Stockport (Tuesday)
Chorlton Folk Club (Thursday)
Full Circle, Prestwich (Friday)
Stalybridge Buffet Bar (Saturday)
Open Door, Oldham (Sunday)

Monthly:
The Beech singaround, Chorlton (first Wednesday)

And, er... that's it. Or is it?

Does anyone know about

- the Jolly Anglers Sunday night sing (listed on Folk Orbit, but I've never heard anyone actually mention it)
- 'Googlies' in Didsbury (ditto)
- whether the Song Carriers are still meeting in town
- whether anyone meets in the town centre since the Full Circle decamped
- anything else I've missed?
