In Manchester NH we're very lucky to have a new club trying to start up that believes in and supports acoustic music. Mitch at Strange Brew on Market Street (603-666-4292) has been very supportive and a pleasure to deal with. Of course, he needs volume to keep this going.

On Tuesdays you can see my humble self doing bluegrass, old country, original folk and general strangeness, on Wednesdays there's open mike night with delta blues scholar Paul Pruitt, Friday I do the dinner show before the (usually electric blues) band starts up at Nine-ish, and Saturday Paul does the same. Sunday I think there's a mostly electric jam session/open mike but I'm sure acoustic players would be welcome. I dunno what happens on Thursdays, if anything. This information is for May/June 1999.

It's a bar/restaurant. The room is beautiful. The stage area is huge on the restaurant side, a little cramped in the bar. There's a house PA but I prefer & use my own. Handicap access is GREAT, no steps at the entrance and a ramp leading down into the restaurant.
