...The Living Room Manchester What is it? The Living Room is a luxurious bar and restaurant located in the heart of Manchester on trendy Deansgate in a great location for shopping and nights out. There are lots of other bars and restaurants surrounding the Living Room (including places such as Est, Est, Est, Pizza Express, Cafe Rouge etc) and it is only five + minutes walk away from Victoria train station. What's there? As you enter on the ground floor you are in the bar area which is known as the living room. Here you can eat during the day (you can also opt to eat upstairs in the dining room, but you tend to need to book more often than not to eat upstairs) as well as enjoy the wide range of drinks and the great coffee (I love the cappuccino here). The prices are pretty much in line with most other city centre bars... Read review

Advantages: Great venue, great choice!
Disadvantages: please water the christmas tree!

...Having been reccomended The Living Room as a place to eat I booked my work christmas lunch at The Living Room in Piccadilly (Heddon Street). There was a set menu for pre-bookings which was £35 per head for a three course. We did not have to book in advance just pay £5 per head deposit (which is then taken off the bill). We arrived on time and were seated straight away upstairs. We had a table that was plenty big enough for our party of 8 (although one person couldn\'t come at the last minute). The menu looked fantastic is was hard to decide what to choose. In each of the starter and main options there was two meat, a fish and a vegetarian option. Starters: Butternut squash soup, muchroom ravioli and rissotto, pork roulade or smoked salmon. Mains: Traditional Turkey, 7hr braised beef, Seabass or baked goats cheese. Deserts... Read review

...I bought Cece Winans Live in Throne room DVD and enjoyed it thoroughly. It was a wonderful experience watching and being part of the concert. The stage was beautiful, with soft flowing curtains, super lighting, great direction, a mix of wide shots, side shots, walk-around shots, over audience shots, and many stunning close-up shots. Very well done. It also offers entertaining and insightful behind the scenes bonus clips. The dancers led by her son Alvin Love, were on top form, very energetic showing what exuberant praise in dance is all about. Cece was at her best. She looked absolutely beautiful in her three outfits, she started with a brownish trouser suit, then a creamish skirt suit that made her look angelic and then a white trouser suit. Her hair and makeup were flawless. She did mention in one of her interviews... Read review

Advantages: Proves Kylie is a singer and gives a great show
Disadvantages: Import only can be expensive

...The lights at the theatre were flashing, the excited fans could wait no longer, she had arrived in town, on the very shores of her native land and it was good to see her back! Who? No other than the almighty Kylie Minogue. Date: 30th June & 1st July 1998 Venue: Capitol Theatre – Sydney, Australia Performing live Ms Kylie Minogue – Sold Out! Yes that’s right here we have a first for Kylie on CD, nearly two whole hours of live extravaganza on one double CD set. The show mainly concentrates on the album simply named ‘Kylie Minogue’ (Impossible Princess or IP to those in the know!). This was the period when Kylie was going through her deep dark, serious and arty phase, which by many was deemed to be a bad move, this resulted in the album ‘Kylie Minogue’ (IP) hitting bargain buckets...
