Frankly, The Smiths, Scotland’s sole tribute to the iconic band, will bring their set to the Star & Garter in Manchester on Saturday 30 January 2027. The evening commences at 7pm, with the group working through a catalogue of jangling guitars and precise, melancholic vocals that faithfully recreate the atmosphere of a classic Smiths gig. Formed in 2017, they have since played venues such as Glasgow’s O2 Academy and Edinburgh’s Liquid Room, and return to Manchester following a sold-out show at the same venue last year. The room fills with the tension between Morrissey’s wry detachment and Johnny Marr’s bright, layered riffs, drawing a crowd that knows every word. Tickets are priced at £12.
Frankly, The Smiths is the only Scottish Smiths tribute band. Since forming in 2017, they’ve performed all over Scotland, in such illustrious venues as Glasgow’s 02 Academy, Inverness Ironworks & Edinburgh’s Liquid Room!

The band’s English mini-tour proved such a blast, they plan even more shows across the U.K.this year, and will be headlining the annual Moz Army meet at the Star & Garter! They’re also excited to be sharing the stage with other fabulous indie tribute bands at some really great festivals! The band perform amazing shows which are a must for any Smiths, Morrissey or Indie fans! Their ever growing fan base agree this is the tribute act to see for the definitive Smiths experience. Come and see what all the fuss is all about! 💐
