THE SMITHS LTDSaturday 3 September Doors 7.30pm | £10 Adv (Door price £12) A standing show

Being the only Smiths tribute band from and based in Manchester, The Smiths Ltd have an authenticity that’s hard to beat. In fact, the band uses the same guitars, bass, amps and drum kit that the Smiths used on their very last tour. It’s unlikely that the Smiths will ever play live again and certainly not with the passion and energy of that brief period between 1983 and 1987. The Smiths Ltd are the closest you’ll get to experiencing that live charge of Morrissey, Marr and Co live on stage.
