As the cultural capital of the North, Manchester enjoys one of the greatest music scenes in the country, if not the world. With a towering history which boasts bands like Oasis, Happy Mondays and The 1975 to clubs like Hacienda, Warehouse Project and Gorilla, Manchester continues to boast a thriving music scene that's an indelible feature of UK culture.

We're proud to announce then that we've joined up with new online radio station MCR Live, sponsoring the weekly Rundown Show which takes an in depth look at the best music and art events taking place across the city - listen to last week's show below.

The Rundown with Skiddle acts as a comprehensive guide to all the best gigs, clubnights and exhibitions in Manchester, while hosting interviews with touring artists, and running competitions for tickets to sold out shows or weekend passes to festivals. Launched on February 20th, the show has so far featured interviews with Sigala and Izzy Bizu.

The Rundown with Skiddle airs every Monday on MCR Live, subscribe to the show via iTunes here.
