shed 7!.............

Thought they were from Sheffield, mate?

Shed 7 were from York. Although Rick Witter is a rag and thusly is a Mancunian with a York accent.

808 State

 

[Dirty Harry]

Sad Cafe, probably a bit like The chameleons in that they should have had far more success and recognition than they actually got.
My favourite though are `The Hollies, even named my daughter after them but with a Y.

And no mention of possibly the most succesful Manchester band of all time... The Hollies.

Or Sad Cafe. Or Freddie and the Dreamers. Or Wayne Fontana. Or Crosby, Stills and NASH. Or even Simply Red...

We are possibly the most productive musical area in the world.

....and still going, Delphic, Everything Everything, Egyptian Hip-Hop, Hurts, Kiss In Cities and May 68 have all had some publicity this year. How many go on to be regarded as greats time will tell.

I actually saw Albertos, Sad Cafe and John Cooper Clarke on the same bill one night at Rafters in the late 70's!
