Where’s Strutter hit the live music scene with a bang by becoming the first unsigned band to headline Club Academy, Academy 3 and Academy 2 all in under 12 months.
And if that is not impressing you, how about the list of bands they have supported : Buzzcocks, Twisted Wheel, The View and Ocean colour scene. Oh and did I mention Peter Doherty sang guest vocals for the band when they supported him.
The lads: Paddy, Lee, Danny and Max have also formed their own record label called The Manchester Label, which will release Wheres Strutters next album, currently being recorded and as yet untitled.
You will also be able to catch Wheres Strutter having a kick about for celebrity soccer six alongside The Enemy on May the 13th at Leyton Orient FC.
They assure me they will beat everyone !!

We also had live in the studio acoustic troubadour Nick Evans.
Recently he has been playing gigs and doing open mic’s across the North West, as well as previously recording a self titled 5 track E.P.
I asked Nick how important open mic nights are to acoustic guitarists and solo artists, he said “they are very important to get you started, big venues will not take you on if they haven’t got some previous knowledge of you, Its also a great way to meet the people who put on the bigger gigs, as they tend to put on the open mics. You also meet other acts who you can gig with, and then of course you can always try out your new material to see how it goes down before a gig”.
