It's been a busy weekend (October 20-21) for The Ligger, as we managed to get over British sporting disappointments - as first the Rugby team and then Lewis Hamilton missed out on world titles - by heading to Manchester's In The City showcase of new music.
The event was the brainchild of the late Tony Wilson and there was plenty going on to honour the Factory Records boss' legacy.
First up, we spent Friday night (19) in an old Salford mill, watching one of our favourite new bands The Ting Tings playing a secret party into the early hours, with both The Reverend and former Arctic Monkeys' bassist Andy Nicholson both dancing into the small hours.
We also spotted Arctic Monkeys Alex Turner and Matt Helders chatting to former bandmate Nicholson while watching hotly tipped newcomers - and their friends - The Rascals.
