Islington Mill is a former cotton spinning mill in Salford, very close to Manchester’s city centre. Unlike much of Manchester's industrial heritage which has been converted into loft apartments, Islington Mill is now home to over 50 artists studios, two art galleries a recording studio and club space. It’s one of the few creative spaces in Salford, and has evolved over ten years to become the cultural haven that it is now.
The Club Space
Lamb & Wolf
Lamb & Wolf are 2 Manchester based promoters. We like to make noise, listen to noise and bring our favourite noise to Manchester. Over the past 3 years we have organised shows for a pretty varied bunch of artists including Dan Deacon, Sunn O))), Earth, Marnie Stern, Polysics and Baroness (plus loads more.) We're not particularly fussed about genre and what-not, if we like it we'll put it on. Sometimes loads of people come to our shows and sometimes only seven people come, but so long as everyone has fun that's all good with us!

Room Tones
Conceived in the summer of 2009, Room Tones is an independent, non-profit organisation striving to bring a vast array of electronic, experimental and outsider music to the Greater Manchester area. Though still only a fledgling, Room Tones has already hosted artists from the USA, Canada, Holland and Norway, artists that we love and believe to have uniqueness, integrity & depth. At the same time we try to support home-grown talent, allowing a stage for them to reach a wider audience. Now almost into their second year, expansion is on the agenda, with a view to further broaden Manchester's exciting musical palette.
