Featuring - Inspiral Carpets
A vital component of the infamous โMadchesterโ movement, Inspiral Carpets formed in Oldham in 1980. Known for hit singles such as โThis Is How It Feelsโ, โSaturn 5โ and โShe Comes in the Fallโ, they remain much-loved not only in Manchester but across the UK.
Inspiral Carpets last took to the stage in 2015 at Leeds O2 Academy. Following the tragic loss of their close friend and drummer, Craig Gill, a year later, they went on an indefinite hiatus.
โCraigโs death had a profound effect on many people. The outpouring of love from around the world at the time gave some comfort to his family and friends as we all tried to come to terms with what had happened.โ
On the reformation, the band are keen to emphasise the celebratory nature of the forthcoming live shows, giving fans a chance to sing along to their favourite hits and commemorate the life of Craig.
Badly Drawn Boy
Mercury Music Prize winner Badly Drawn Boy provides 'Beatific, rhythm-infested melodies, resplendent in wondrous brass, stark string accompaniment and obscure found sounds'.
The Mickey 9s
The Mickey 9s are defined by their driving bass rhythms, funky guitar licks, four-to-the-floor pounding beats and satirically potent lyrics.
They have always done things in their own, irreverent way. The last few years have seen the band release a series of popular music videos, hilarious comic strips protesting against Thatcher, Bono, and all things evil, and regularly blowing the minds of unsuspecting gig punters all over the UK.
Their music is relentless, unapologetic, and unrefined. It is music that grabs you immediately by the ear lobes, picks you up and shakes you about 'til you have no choice but to start dancing. It is music like a bomb: unpredictable, explosive, and with a hefty bass sound.
