Yeah, there's very little live music in Manchester centre either - you
have to go out to the small towns to find pubs with regular live music.
Hopefully the new licencing bill (which I believe will now not require a
licence for venues under 250 capacity with 11:30 offstage times) will
help to bring live bands back.
