November 4th - Guerilla Radio Manchester

After everything that the past week has thrown up, one could be hoping for a simple straightforward evening. Well not really, and Friday nights show did not let us down. What a great night and what a vibe. Opening up the night was Manchester act North. Delivering a set to the standard we have come accustom to except from North, the fans were not left disappointed. Next up were Stockport’s newest troublemakers Dead Saints. What a set ! Gullivers was filled to bursting point and they did not disappoint the awaiting fans. Snarling guitars, attitude and distinctive vocal melodies, give Dead Saints an exciting fresh take on the drug we all love, Rock & Roll. It is great to see young up and coming bands keeping the Rock & Roll sprit alive, whilst actually being able to deliver a set !! Closing the night was Manchester band Tiny Phillips. Having to follow Dead Saints wasn't easy, but they delivered their set with confidence, precision and timing. Keep an eye open for all of the bands on the Manchester Music circuit. Great vibes, good times and good sounds. Af

October 30th - RIP Moolah Rouge

Today is a very sad day for NorthernCats, Moolah Rouge and the Manchester Music Scene. Moolah Rouge had finally closed its doors after nearly 15 years. After all the amazing albums, it is insane to think that no more music will be made with in the walls of the in-famous Hallam mill. This is a very sad day. Af

September 2011 - Johnny Marr & his new band !!

When we got a phone call a few weeks back from Johnny's management asking if our studio was available in September we were intrigued. Yes our studio is available, we replied. 2 weeks on and Mr Marr himself turns up with his new band who are excitedly rehearsing away for a string of dates in October. There have been some great sounds coming from the live room and we are very excited to here the finished product and see him in concert next month. Keep your ears and eyes peeled :-) Af

August 2011 - Letters To Fiesta Hit the Studio

Letters To Fiesta hit the ground running this month. Working on a series of single that are hopefully going to be ready for release in early 2012, what started off as a nervy lesson for all involved, has quickly turned into a monster. We are very excited by the demos that have been produced this month and the thought of recording them properly in November with producer David Burn is making us all slightly hysterical. Get on to this band before everyone else !! Af
