The International Nightclub Manchester

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The International Nightclub Manchester was a live music venue on Dickenson Road, Longsight, Manchester at the same time as the Hacienda and other clubs in the late 1980s were gaining in popularity. The owner of the nightclub was Gareth Evans and he was the Manager for the Stone Roses band who also frequented the club.

The International was notable as being the live music component of the Manchester music scene and being the base for the Stone Roses who were credited as producing the greatest British album of all time. This was written whilst they were part of the scene at the International Night Club Manchester. http://www.nme.com/news/arctic-monkeys/22062 The nightclub is shown in the first 11 seconds of this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KnMiNJL3utw&feature=related and the story documented at as part of the Blood on The Turntables series http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=The_International_Nightclub_Manchester&action=submit
