This monthly event has quickly become a success on its home turf. It quickly developed a reputation for great value, high energy, and exciting new acts. In the interest of science, it only seemed right to test this formula further afield. And where better than Manchester, home to one of the most vibrant music scenes in the UK?

So here is the deal, each month Degenerate Productions finds five emerging artists and puts them on a line-up for you at a pound a piece. Five acts – Five Quid. The tried and tested way to find your next favourite artist before everyone else does.
