ARTIST/BAND: Northern Vinyl BASED IN: Morley BAND MEMBERS: Andy Dilworth - Guitar and vocals, Declan McNulty - Bass and backing vocals, Mark Banks - Drums and backing vocals BIOGRAPHY: After three years in the wilderness after the split of their previous band Freewheeler in 2002, Andy and Declan decided to give the covers game a go and, after recruiting drummer Mark, formed Northern Vinyl in late 2005. The lads quickly went about rehearsing a set of classics by bands such as the Who, the Jam, the Faces, the Stones, Elvis Costello etc and found themselves well suited to the three piece set up, as each of the band are experienced musicians. Arming themselves with a set containing upwards of 30 songs in three short months, the band played their first gig on 3 March 2006 and have continued to expand their set and play more and more gigs across Leeds and Wakefield. The list of upcoming gigs is constantly increasing, as is the band's reputation! STYLE OF MUSIC: Mod-soul-rock Covers INFLUENCES: The Who, The Jam, The Faces, Spencer Davis Group, Elvis Costello, Oasis, Rolling Stones, Beatles, Classic 60s soul..... FAVOURITE SONG: A few live favourites at the moment - Wont Get Fooled Again, A Town Called Malice, Oliver's Army, Maggie May... BEST MOMENT SO FAR: Best gig for atmosphere so far was the Jockey in Wakefield, although the Oceans 11 came close, but the best is yet to come... |
