* This post makes no claim to show definitive listings for Liverpool or Sheffield. I will list events in Liverpool and Sheffield (or elsewhere) if the shows are (1) not available in Manchester or (2)  are an excellent opportunity to see something major again. Listings for Manchester venues are intended to be as complete as possible. Please let me know if I miss anything.
