A little history...
Speakeasy
started as a monthly open
mike jam session in June
1999 at the Green Room.
The house band soon developed
an intimate relationship
with the regular performers,
which led to the generation
of new material every month.
Speakeasy late night events
have expanded to a variety
of Manchester venues, always
drawing a culturally diverse
audience from Moss Side,
Rusholme, Hulme and other
central Manchester areas.
We have created a platform
for participation and self-
expression:
by breaking down barriers
to performance to create
an 'art form open to everyone'.
If you've attended Speakeasy in the past, as a performer or audience member, please spend a minute filling in our survey and let us know what you'd like to see in the future. Thanks!
