A forward-thinking and highly energetic group they perform original compositions that cover a wide range of styles and dynamics. From extremely complex arrangements to minimal, popish melodically-driven compositions, the Nonet draws on a broad spectrum of influences and is unfettered in its creativity. The group is bursting with exciting individuals, inspiring one another to push themselves further in each performance.
The Band : Joshua Cavanagh-Brierley, Alan Taylor, Craig Hanson, Danny Wellens, Jake Fletcher, Gavin Hibberd, Sam Healey, Kyran Matthews and Anthony Brown.
THE RETROSETTES
The Retrosettes have been split into 2 bands playing at venues, festivals and events for around 5 years. They have a sound that merges classic Jazz, Soul and Funk with modern Pop and Indie. More recently they have merged the two bands into a quintet with includes the singers from both of the bands: Helen Rodgers and Paul Bytheway.
Their original material still has a timeless sound and draws from the same influences of the 50s, 60s and 70s. Its now like Sly and The Family Stone meets The Rolling Stones. With 3 part harmonies (with the 3rd from drummer Rick Weedon), gritty organ and Rhodes solos from Andrzej Baranek and funky bass lines from Hugo 'Harry' Harrison, the sound of the Retrosettes is complete.
The band goes into the studio next month to record their first EP.
ZACC ROGERS
Zacc Rogers plays the sounds of covers & originals, Soul, Jazz, Yee-Haa, Rock & Roll, Gospel, Folk, Blues and Reggae. Since settling in Manchester Zacc has established himself as a strong solo performer gigging frequently up and down the country and in venues across the north west. Zacc is one of the biggest names on the street performing roll call in Manchester.
