Manchester scene has always been one of the biggest and most influential musical scenes in the UK. It gave us rave, post punk, cold wave, Madchester sound, Mersey beat and Britpop. From The Hollies, Joy Division, Lisa Stansfield, 808 State to Happy Mondays, Oasis and The Stone Roses – Manchester has an incredibly strong claim […]
MoreI must have some sort of twin radar in my mind. I always pick up random people from the crowd who, as I find out later, have a twin brother or sister or have twins in their closest family. It’s really weird, but also fasticating and cool. Being a twin myself, I seem to gravitate […]
MoreManchester is proud home to an incredible number of music stars: Oasis, Cleopatra, Lisa Stansfield, Rowetta or The Bee Gees (to name a few!). Nico was living in town for almost eight years. You can say that very step and every corner here has a story to tell. Sadly, many people seem to be overtaken […]

Many of us had to sacrifice everyday pleasures for almost two years and what used to be a frequent arrangement suddenly feels like a very alien concept. Hands up […]

I stopped in my tracks, pointed at a radio and said to a shop seller that we were just witnessing a birth of a superstar. They just nodded their head and said yeah but […]
