A mole tells me that this blog, and Whathappenedlastnight, have been quietly blacklisted by Urbis. Could it be that my commentary on the messy debacle that was the Manchester Beach have upset those down at the cash hungry museum? The Beach, which was destined to be a success, was quietly buried with the excuse of "we didn´t expect all this rain"...pretty poor reasoning after such a big build up.

Information on new events and openings, including The Modern, is being withheld from Whathappenedlastnight - and our 180,000 monthly readers - whilst websites with less than 200 visitors/day are being pushed to the top of the pile.

After a summer of club events that haven´t always gone according to plan (one of our photographers was too embarassed to upload photos from one event) the opening of the Modern is hugely important to Urbis. The restaurant sits at the top of the building in a premier position, with views across the city. The last incumbant was Le Mont, a French restaurant that priced itself out of most Mancunians to-do lists, so all eyes will be on it´s replacement to see if they can ´get the mix right´.

Should the PR people down at Urbis want to reconsider, my inbox is always open.....
