About me:








The Hark to Towler is a place where most Live music is welcome...Indie, Metal, Rock, Blues, Reggae, Folk, World, Soul etc.....Keep an eye on some of the bands coming our way via our Gig Guide below, & of course the ol' Skiddle widget, on the left hand side, under the Jukebox. We've had some awesome bands in the past and the future is gonna be thrice as HOT! Probably.



NICKED FROM MYSPACE COMMENTS. And you know if you do a testimonial, you have to put your hands on your balls at the same time, so it's quite serious y'know!... THANK YOU - YOU'RE ALL SOOOO SWEET

Thanks for a great night! Top pub, top people, top night. EMx EUREKA MACHINES

I had a blast ! Am still grinning from ear to ear ! awesome gig, loving yer work my friend ! MR.C - BONEYARD DOGS

jon is the man !!!! cheers for last night jon. you are definetly one of the coolest dudes we've come across on our travels. hope to see you again soon. THIN LIZZY EXPERIENCE

GREAT SOUND GREAT PEOPLE GREAT VENUE CHEERS – GAIA

Your closed! I don't know what to do! LITTLE (BIG) STE

Jon mate - seriously dude thank you so much for having us - we all totally agreed last night that the gig and the venue is right up there in our top 3 for the year. Your hospitality and pure and simple love for music made it feel like the most comfortable place ever - your crowd were amazing EXIT STATE

Thanks for having made the magic possible! :) Peace, Cap'ain! CHARMAINE de VALOIS

Cracker night last night mate...the best time we've had since arriving....bloody sore this morning though !!! Watch out for that damn gorilla !!! AS WE ARE

Just wanted to say a quick thank you for the love and support we have had from Cpn Jon and his scurvy crew - it means the world to us and we had again one of the best gigs of the year! Its fair to say that in our top five gigs of 2008, two of them are the last two Towlers! Genius! F.I.G.M.O

There's many more but we don't wanna be showin' off :)



Send me an IM!

We have full PA,(6 Peavey cabs/ Studiomaster amps - around 2000W a side/ Soundcraft 24 channel desk) a great light show (par cans, pinspots + colour blasters), a top little stage (Bands! Remember, this is a pub - not Madison Square Gardens! It's 2ft high X 14ft deep X 11ft wide. That's the stage - not the pub) ... even free fog! And some monitors. Ahem. Microphones are also provided. Not bad, eh? Jon (that's me actually) does the sound, so let's not have any moaning about bringing your own soundman - it's not necessary. No one knows the rig like I do - & even I still don't know it! Not intimately anyhow. It's a very secretive system. Run exactly like the Millenium Falcon. A quick slap on the dash & off we go! Ha! Ha! If all else fails - call for Lea! A wide variety of screens carry the action throughout the pub - Big ones, small ones, some as big as yer 'ead! Bands - drop your fees accordingly! :)

The Kate Bush Tribute Page




Video below: SENSATIONAL ALEX HARVEY BAND: "Give my compliments to the Chef" If pushed (or pulled), I'd say this lot were the greatest Rock band of ALL TIME! This week :)

Who I'd like to meet:


Video below: FIREFALLDOWN: "Commissioned" Top band!.



Video below: ALICE IN CHAINS with GRETCHEN & NANCY WILSON: "Barracuda - Live". Blimey o'Charlie Riley almighty!!! Turn it UP!





"Welcome, to a world of ... interest"









PLEASE NOTE: We are open from 6.00pm every night. Gigs usually start around 9pm - 9.15pm - depending on complications. Ha! Ha! You can check all our gigs until well into 2009 on the Skiddle Widget which is down on the left (under the rather magnificent 'Jukebox') Give it a scroll! Savvy?

Hi, Hark 2 Towler! For the first time since the early 70's, Rudy Ray Moore's classic "The Dirty Dozens House Party" comedy album is available on Rudy Ray Moore - The Dirty Dozens House Party Album. We hope you will check out this and many other outrageous Rudy Ray Moore comedy albums recently reissued and pick up a copy of Rudy's CD "Dolemite For President" which is in stores now - please help spread the word!!! This original 1972 comedy album has never before been issued on CD and contains unreleased Rudy bonus tracks!

Also check out hit R&B artist Troop's Billboard charting soulful album, "Mayday," in stores and on Troop-Mayday

Thanks for supporting Rudy Ray Moore's comedy!

Ahoy Jon - Tis I - Jay of The Good ship F.I.G.M.O, hows tricks? Thanks for accepting us and for extending the warm welcome - everyone has been so supportive since the move from Oslo to Manchester and it makes all the difference! We love it here in Manchester!! What would be your favorite song would you say?

We would love to see you and rock your face off at one of our shows one day and toast our newfound proximity - Do nyou have any dates free over the next couple of months? We'd be honoured to kick arse for you - i LOVE the Towler!!

Basically, if you want us to play for you then we can work together and capture the dream - feel free to download our tunes from our iLike page and just tell everyone you know about Daddysmilk, play us in the car, at gatherings/pissups etc! Its people like you that inspire us to push ourselves further, forever and unrelentlessly onwards :D You Beauty!

How are you today anyway mate? big love from your new favorite Mancunian Anglo-Norwegian band ;-) lol!

Kris, Jay, Marius & Keith
