A big (belated) thank you to Jameson Cult Film Club (and also Noel 'Filmrant' Mellor for taking me as his plus one!) for putting on a great evening at Manchester Academy 2 last Thursday. It really was a double decker of a Manchester entertainment sandwich. The bread and butter was the plentiful Jamesons cocktails that were in sweet (very sweet... almost sickly?) abundance (but I'm not complaining, I heart sickly abundance booze). The juicy filling started with a thin layer of Manchester band 1913 (think a moody, Editor-esque, Joy Division-inspired quintet...if they were a sandwich filling, they'd probably be tuna paste), followed by a screening of Anton Corbijn's Control (big fat slabs of good old cheddar cheese) finished off with a dashing off Clint Boon playing all your Manchester favourites (the pickle). Overall, a really enjoyable night - made even better because it was all free (recession proof fun!)! And a winning formula from the Jameson's Cult Film Club gang - they definitely know that Mancs are always hungry for Manchester-filled goodness.
