go down oldham street, there are plenty of record shops down there including vinyl exchange and picadilly records. as far as venues goes i seem to remember a pub called the star and garter had bands on a lot but i am outta touch with the scene there. you could always hop on a train and go the hours travel to leeds which has a way better music scene than manchester.
