Save The Star and Garter
Donation protected
The Star and Garter is at the heart of the DIY music scene in Manchester and it needs your help.
A home to the punk rock, metal, folk, and indie scenes in the city, it's a vital part of what makes Manchester great. It's the place we've sung our hearts out and drank the bar dry watching some of our favourite bands. It's also the home of the legendary Smiths Disco (you can even ask The Courteeners!) and SMILE.
Manchester would be at a loss without it. That's why Interbrew Media and UTB Manchester have teamed up. We want to SAVE THE STAR AND GARTER — and we need your help. As huge fans of live music, we’d be at a loss without places like the S&G — somewhere to support local bands, discover new music, and see some of the best gigs in the city. We're sure you feel the same too.
It's hard for venues at the best of times and right now it's even harder. Without our support venues like the S&G will struggle to survive. If these venues close people will lose jobs, there will be limited venues likely to only hold bigger acts, and hard-working unsigned and independent bands may struggle to get out on the live music scene.
The Star and Garter pub in Manchester is a well-loved and historic venue. It's an ingrained part of the culture of Manchester, and the thought of so much history, love, and passion going away is not worth thinking about. Independent venues like this are the lifeblood of the music industry across the country — they make history for bands, create memories for the fans, and are an important hub of the music scene. That's certainly the case in Manchester.
UTB and Interbrew are teaming up to raise as much money as we can for our beloved Star & Garter and we need your help to do it. We'll be working with promoters, record labels, musicians and fans from across Manchester and beyond to make it happen.
We also wanted to make sure YOU get something out of this too, because as music fans you keep the industry afloat. So expect some live music, an indie auction, and fun challenges to keep you entertained during lockdown, and of course to help save The Star and Garter.
You can donate at any time, and we appreciate every single penny. So, if you had a gig planned for this month, why not donate the price of a pint?
We hope you and yours all stay safe at this uncertain time.
Thank you,
Interbrew, UTB and The Star & Garter
