This is the Myspace of Second City, a FREE bi-monthly magazine dedicated to the music and lifestyle in Manchester. Covering all aspects of music in the city, giving some deserved media attention to the DIY gigs and underground scenes. Showcasing the best unsigned talent alongside those more established. Couple that with spotlights on clubnights, fashion and the community as a whole, and you get Second City Magazine.
You can pick up your copy of the current issue from all across the city centre and beyond now! We have a current circulation of 5,000 copies with plans to increase over time.
On our website (www.secondcityuk.com), you can expect to find all archived articles, reviews and interviews as well as those that we can't squeeze into each issue. We will be updating this daily with fresh content, news, listings and opportunities, so bookmark us now and keep checking back!
We welcome submissions such as reviews and articles, so if you've got something you'd like to see in the magazine, give us a shout at editor@secondcityuk.com
