Sometime back in 2002, when Manchester began it’s fightback from a prolonged post-Britpop depression; Northern Ambition was set up alongside a clutch of other energetic promoters and record labels to give the city the kiss of life. Stephen Fretwell’s debut mini-album 8 Songs got the label off the mark and set a standard that could only be matched by the best new bands. Offering live gigs to the most talented waifs and strays in town resulted in further discoveries and records from bands such as The Beans, Nathan Burton, Pioneers and Omerta. The label lives on today so sign up to our mailing list for updates.
