An American Tale - Manifesto Goes West (End)

Yes, we're back ... Manifesto returns with a new home, The Retro Bar, in what is hopefully the first in a series of one-off specials, starting with The Thanksgiving Day Manifesto ...

DJ Bid-Up and Another Guy Called Gerald use the excuse of Thanksgiving Day to celebrate the best of all things U.S. of A.

From the Beastie Boys to Bruce, Interpol to Irene Cara, Missy Elliot to Marilyn Manson, Prince to the Pixies ... you get the idea

There'll also be big screen visuals, sweet treats and maybe even one of our famous picture quizzes.

Proceedings start at 8pm til 11pm closing ... hope to see you down there. Bring your American friends, and anyone else you can muster, to help kick off our life in a new home with a bang!
