Cultural Diet - October 2025
I haven’t done one of these for a few months, but I feel like I’ve finally got back on track and caught up with life since my Canada trip. Here’s a list of everything I’ve consumed this month (culture-wise).
🎵 Music
🤘 Gigs
- 24-10 Antony Szmierek @ WHP, Manchester: Poor sound issues from the local lad but the new tunes sound decent.
- 24-10 Confidence Man @ WHP, Manchester: This is the tenth time I’ve seen them and while they are still undeniably fun, the novelty has worn off somewhat. I had a good dance wearing a great coat.
- 30-10 Haim @ Co-op Live, Manchester: I knew this would be a good gig, but I wasn’t expecting just how good. They are incredibly talented and funny and even though the majority of their set was from the new album (it’s the album tour after all) I had a thoroughly good evening.
