Weekend thread - Who's the best band in... 18 Years, 2 Months ago  
Inspired by one of the posts about building up a huge local following with no national or international interest whatsoever...

Who's the best band in Manchester?

Liverpool?

Birmingham?

Glasgow?

And the smaller places - Milton Keynes, Ipswich, Godalming (used to be Genesis 40 years ago, I decided)...


YOUR VOTES PLEASE - the local band that really packs them out locally but no further than the next county (or in the USA/Australia - state).

Well you didnt include Bournemouth, but I guess everyone knows I am going to say Air Traffic for national interest and Fitzpain for local and no national interest.


Birmingham... the Dastards.

Southampton......... Toupe

This could be an endless list, over to the forum....

We are dissapointingly enough finding very little about regional bands in this thread.
Wigan..(I think)...The Court Of King Charles. Excellent witty tracks , but I don`t know what the following is like.

Yes funnily enough I've had better response to a similar thread I started for US and Aussie groups on The Velvet Rope.

Perhaps there ARE no good regional bands in the UK - or possibly they are so busy packing them in, they have no time to post!

Re:Weekend thread - Who's the best band in... 18 Years, 2 Months ago  
nothing up here guys that I've heard about, but there again, I know what they are up against with pay to play etc. Solo artists is a different matter...I'll keep my ear to the ground.

Tell you what Big End, don`t even start me on "pay to play" solo artists!lol!

Some deserve to pay to play, some deserve some money for their endeavours. It can be a fine line!

There some cool things emerging in Cornwall - UnEntitled, this weeks FAB Chart No1. Down that way I think the Replicas are doing a good job too.

I'd say they're both one to watch, good encourages good. They will be playing together soon. Nice guys, deserve encouragement.

Not quite the answer to the thread title... but will be soon enough
