SUMMARY:Picnic Club: Live Americana Music
DESCRIPTION:Long-running acoustic/ Americana showcase\, now at its new location in Levenshulme\, 7.30pm\, adm free. The artistes: The Blazing Snowmen\, Dominic Carlton Jones\, The Dimestore Dirtbags\, and Picnic Area. Admission is free but this is a WE SHALL OVERCOME event and we ask you to bring groceries for the Levenshulme Foodbanks please if you can. Please note: children are allowed if accompanied by an adult. \nThe evening kicks off at 7.30pm with a set from our hosts Picnic Area. The Stockport-based band combine influences of country music\, 60s pop and punk attitude to produce a unique sound of their own. www.reverbnation.com/picnicarea \nThe Dimestore Dirtbags are a musical duo (Randy Horton and Sarah McConnell) performing alt-country and folk original and cover songs\, leaning to the ironic. Entertainment is guaranteed! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rmtnBommk3U \nDominic Carlton Jones plays an atmospheric\, semi-acoustic version of post-punk\, and was formerly signed to Manchester’s prestigious German Shepherd label (along with the likes of Poppycock and The Harveys). He was also a Salford Star award winner for an album of punk poetry in 2018. He and his band have released a number of albums which you can hear at https://dominiccarltonjones.bandcamp.com/ \nThe Blazing Snowmen have been described as “Alan Bennett backed by the Lancashire Doors” and are one of Manchester’s most interesting and longest established bands. Their observations of human foibles are expressed in their sardonic satirical lyrics\, often at their own expense\, as they reflect on expanding waistlines and recently-developed tastes for asparagus. They will also have a new album out any time shortly! The Blazing Snowmen

SUMMARY:Neurowavy Meet-Up
DESCRIPTION:Neurowavy Monthly Meet-up \nAn informal meet-up for neurodivergent (wavy) folks \nWhen? \nThird Wednesday of every month. \nDrop in 7-9pm\nNo need to book\, just turn up! \nWho are we? \nWe are Timna (33) and Lauren (39). We connected after being diagnosed with ADHD and immediately saw the value in spending time with other like-minded (wavy) folk who just get it. \nWe wanted to make sure everybody had access to a safe space where they could truly be themselves\, something that didn’t seem to exist locally. \nIn June 2023 we established Neurowavy as a community for neurodivergent folks\, offering a monthly meet-up and ad-hoc events. \nWhat to expect? \nPut simply\, it’s an opportunity to spend a little time with some like-minded folk in a no-pressure setting. Super friendly\, super informal\, super relaxed. No expectations. \nPlease feel very welcome to come on your own – you won’t be the only one (but friends are more than welcome if you’d feel more comfortable that way). \nWhether you have been diagnosed or suspect you are neurodivergent (ADHD\, ASD\, etc.) this is a safe space for you! \nWhere to find us? \nFind us in the Viewing Platform (hang a left from the main bar). \nTheres a handy walkthrough on our Instagram @neurowavy if you’re new to Station South. \nIf it’s your first time attending one of our meet-ups\, we’ll have some tables reserved so just look out for our branding. Or feel free to let us know in advance that you’ll be popping down and we’ll keep an eye out for you. \nHow to contact us. \nInstagram @neurowavy \nDiscord Neurowavy \nE-mail neurowavy@gmail.com
