The Rise and Fall of a Northern Star

Tracy Star was born into the depressing landscape of 1980’s Manchester, hoping to escape the mediocrity of her life. A huge Bowie fan she sought to make something of herself in the burgeoning Manchester music scene of the late eighties. She formed the band Northern Star who went onto release singles like Now and Then and Heavyweight before breaking free under industry pressure and recording as a solo artist known simply as Star. She would become a forgotten part of what was a pivotal time in Manchester music before drink, drug use and the music industry would take its heavy toll.

Suitable for 16 years and over.
