Over the last few years, Lo-Tide Collective - directed by friends, Caleb Allport and Chris Hough, have developed an organic breeding ground for grass roots music to thrive in Greater Manchester; now the Collective are coming together for their first weekly city centre event

Each week, your LT open mic host, Caleb (AKA twice Glastonbury Festival artist Walter Kocays) brings an open space for the arts to take over at the Trading Route, located next to Aviva studios. Expect each week to feature an example of the region’s finest up and coming artists, poets, comedians and everything in between.

Open mic should always be just that; highlighting that all abilities are welcome to perform; whether it be to showcase their developing skills or simply enjoy themselves.

Wanna perform? We’ll have walk-in slots saved every Tuesday alongside pre-bookings which you can secure by messaging Lo-Tide via their Instagram at @lotidecollective or emailing lotideuk@gmail.com
