'Northern Spirit' think it’s high time for a new way of imagining the North of England. We want to see this part of the world with fresh eyes, and in surprising and unexpected ways.

Our website http://northernspirit.org.uk is a home for everything fantastic, under-looked, unexpected and inspiring here. Do visit us and have a look around. 

The North’s a really huge place – so just for starters we’re talking about four areas: the Manchester City Region, the Sheffield City Region, the Liverpool City Region and Tyne and Wear. 

On our website we regularly feature underexposed, talented, up-and-coming bands/musicians/sound artists that are inspired - in some way - by these places. 

We'd love to hear from you

British comedian Adam Buxton talks with interesting people. The rambly conversations are sometimes funny, sometimes more serious with funny bits. Adam records the intros and outros for most episodes while walking with his dog friend Rosie in the East Anglian countryside where he lives with his wife and three children. 

Adam has appeared in films such as ‘Hot Fuzz’, ‘Stardust’ and ‘Son Of Rambow’ as well as a variety of TV shows in the UK. Since 2007 he has hosted ‘BUG’, a live show that combines music videos and comedy that became a TV series on Sky Atlantic in 2012. From time to time he also does live shows featuring just his own material. Along with lifelong friend Joe Cornish he also is one half of award winning TV, radio and podcast duo Adam & Joe who have worked together since 1995. 

You can find many of the insanely catchy jingles Adam makes for the podcast as well as amazing bonus material, beautiful merchandise and a selection of his incredibly funny and brilliant YouTube videos on the free Adam Buxton app.

Adam is writing this himself using the third person.
