Willgoose, Esq regarding the inspiration, album themes and motivations and most importantly, what we can look forward to from them in the future. Could you tell our readers how you came up […]

– NIGHT & DAY CAFE, MANCHESTER – Oh Canada! Tonight’s the night Saskatchewan’s blues-rock four piece The Sheepdogs grace us Mancunians with their bearded presence.

INTERVIEW: CHÂTEAUX

South Manchester’s Châteaux have been making a big impression ever since uploading their first demo ‘It’s Magic’ six months ago, and continuing to deliver ever since with their reverb-heavy, melodic mix of soaring vocals and swirling guitar sounds. I talk to Henry Flint, one half of the Flint twins George and Henry that make up […]
Silent Radio’s Simon Zaccagni recommends Adrian Flanagan for your audible delectation and your possible bemusement on how a Salford born/Sheffield based man who only a few years ago broke both of his arms so badly that he was told he’d never play an instrument again can be so darn busy musically. ***** WHO ARE YA? “I am one half […]
