Plenty.
 Four boys from the South Manchester suburbs, managed by Phil Saxe, Factory Records Head of A&R and ex Happy Mondays manager. 

Their star shone brightly on the cusp of the Madchester music scene of the late eighties , early nineties. Despite promises of recording deals, Plenty pinned their hopes to the Factory Records mast aspiring to become part of the labels legacy. Sadly it was not to be, the usual band infighting, musical disagreements and the original Factory Records collapse conspired against the band, resulting in the frustrated quartet's sad demise.
