The Nightjars

The Nightjars are a currently active group in Manchester, England. The line-up is Ollie Wright on bass guitar and vocals, Phil Arnold on guitar and vocals and Seamus O'Kane on drums. The group formed in January 2005, when Wright and Arnold, childhood friends, recruited O'Kane and guitarist Dan Sims. The Nightjars quickly gained a reputation for fiery live shows, helped by a 90-minute improvised show as backing band for the legendary CAN vocallist Damo Suzuki at Manchester's Night & Day Cafe.

Vincent Black Lightning

Stephen Hartley flunked school to form a punk band which at the time he thought was infinately more worthwhile - during their hectic four years the band (called NOTSENSIBLES) made an album and four singles and earned themselves a worldwide cult status for their refreshing humour and irreverent approach to punk. After the band split & after completing his engineering apprenticeship, Hartley took off hitch-hiking round Europe - not wanting to be in the rat race and inspired by friends in Bordeaux who made a living busking, he decided to become a busker on his return to England.
