I was a big fan of BJH until the keyboard player left. He was a huge influence on the band. Didn't care for them after that.

Would the Bee Gees not qualify? They're as "Manchester" as some on the list. I mean to say; Lisa Stansfield? Gary Barlow?

Three pages in before 'The Hollies' make an appearance, shocking Bluemoon, shocking !

Sad Cafe. Best live band i have ever seen and i do a lot of Gigs. Paul Young was a phenomenal front man. Ashley Mulford could sure play some mean guitar.
