Jilly's Rockworld
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jilly's Rockworld (often known as just "Jilly's") is a rock music nightclub located on Oxford Road in Manchester City Centre, England. The club specialises in rock, metal and goth music. Rockworld was called 'Fagins' prior to its current name.
Rockworld is one of the premier rock venues in the country and has been in existence for more than 20 years[1]
The club has 4 rooms: Room one is the largest room, and plays a variety of mainstream rock, indie and metal. Depending on the night, the other 3 rooms play a specific type of music, including heavy metal / classic rock, goth / EBM / new wave, punk and indie.
Thursday nights are known as "Cheapskates" feature very cheap entry and lots of drinks offers. Friday night is the all nighter[2].
