FRANKLY MR Shankly, a night of the kind of Sixties and Seventies music which inspired The Smiths, as well as recent artist who cite Manchester’s finest as a major influence, plays at The Brickyard, Carlisle, on Saturday night. The DJ is – appropriately – Dagenham Dave. The night is organised by Dora Diamont, who organised last year’s Panic at The Brickyard event. Dora Diamont is artist and Illustrator Carl Sowerby, writer and photographer Andrew Black, writer and musical director Rowena Kelly-Lennon and artist John Kelly.

Dora Diamont launch a new fanzine, entitled Tuba, on the night.

They’ll be handing out free copies of the first issue which they promise will have ‘a very distinctive Smiths-related theme’. They say: “Articles range from the serious philosophical Cartesian discussion ‘Are you on the Road?’ to more avant-garde stories of ‘The Bands of Yesteryear’.”

Doors 9pm. Tickets £3.
