Can these strictly underground Ulster Existentialists be the first Northern Irish-Mancunian band to walk down Albert Road after the last 2 years' ground-breaking awards, which arousesd interest from all over the globe again, to ensure the big prize is also an Irish Manc & even Scots Ulster thang?  We will see.
With a lead track chosen by Bailey in summer '25, the box of records has arrived, deals done. #chewinggumweekends

No pop, just style, strictly roots, some Belfast bookmakers seem to think it's possible. The fans there are superfans and the band say after playing Kendal Calling that their last underground gig will be in new Belfast. Mercury tilt switch? No bombs just Cherrybomb now!  Belfast did the Brits better than anyone didn't it?!

Review selection (from 100s) -
Compilation of indie reviews -
"This local band, look set for big things judging by the reviews they've been getting lately: '"Jackson's the new Ian Brown. The band are the new Joy Division. They're gonna be massive!'; 'best new band in Manchester... "Surrounded By Angels" is already the new anthem of lad rock'; 'The Nouvelles moody elegance did bring thoughts of The Roses ... a very powerful but tight, rocking indie sound... The Nouvelles are a quality act'.
- Collection of reviews c/o Picadilly Records End of Year Review 
And the Belfast MSM who broke it all put it:
"Jacko will be massive" 
- Belfast Telegraph Music Editor Maeve Quigley also Ents Ed Daily Mirror Dublin, who stood her ground and refused to give Snow Patrol & Colin Murray the "next big thing" talk, as the music scene took shape in a changing Belfast before things got too big & Jacko joined Dean & Co in Gtr Manchester, having refused to leave his job as a senior advisor & conflict management consultant until the Assembly was voted in. #gtfbo as Dean says.

Unique, non-conforming, authentic, The Nouvelles seek to re-create the classic underground indie band, refusing Glastonbury for Kendal Calling Sat night slot, warming up for that with BOTW Sat night sellout. Often classed as a Manchester band, they actually started out and will finish up in Belfast.  Everything about them reeks of Good Vibrations purist indie, and only they will ever know why they are chosing to remain under the radar when being tipped up as the new Roses or whatever. #keepitindie

Honouring the house that Jack built: Maqossa is here to make you move your body.

His vibe: Dutch with a touch, a grooving & thumping sound that guarantees to get you moving - on and off the dance floor. Mixing classic house with that funky rhythm, his focus is on always creating a thriving party atmosphere that has manifested into a movement of its own: Qlub.

The years have seen him rising fast with sets at After Caposile, Cova Santa, PIV, BPM Festival, Burning Man, Shelter, Mysteryland, BRET, and much more.

During the pandemic era, Maqossa wanted to create something special, so from one illegal photo studio party came the birth of his own record label and event series that he had to name after the explosive movement. Now with his festival, club nights that have featured heavy hitters such as Archie Hamilton and Richy Ahmed, and a record label all under the Qlub umbrella, this explorative adventure has grown into something special.

You know you are always guaranteed to bounce, laugh, and have a good time with some Maqossa in your life, so make sure you don’t skip a beat.

Thousand years have passed and my memories come back, it was the time of knight of the fortresses and minstrels" from the future we change the past Artificial Intelligences kills the creative souls of humanity  " HERE NO AI " "MUSIQUE COSMOLOGIQUE". Experimental improvisation laboratory since 2007 "Cosmosonic Music"  Art finds its strength in repression and constraints"  SOUND CREATION.  Original electronic keyboard, continuous creative activity  "Uzeste  New Aquitaine FRANCE"...  Nous vaincrons ensemble le doute, tous nos fantômes de mort et de peur n'y pourront rien, nous sommes chevaliers de la Terre et chevauchons les mondes imbriqués l'un dans l'autre.
D'un univers sans fin à un monde solide, d'une cage de feu à un nuage heureux, le passage étroit jouxte la lumière de la nuit obscure. Force de renoncement à tout, espace intime et infime de la vie.
La musique est lumière dans les ténèbres, tout est vibration, la fin est mot ou le nom d'une porte, même les murs de la plus dure des pierres sont des voiles légers pour l'âme sur l'étincelle de vie. "original sound paintings " .We shall overcome together the doubt, all our ghosts of death and fear will do nothing there, we are knights of the Earth and are astride the imbricated worlds one in the other.
Of an endless universe to a solid world, a cage of fire in a happy cloud, the narrow passage adjoins the light of the dark night. Strength of renunciation of everything, intimate and tiny space of the life.
The music is light in the darkness, everything is vibration, the end is word or the name of a door, even the walls of the hardest some stones are veil light for the soul on the spark of life..  
"Thanks to the Earth and the Nature for all their benefactions " see you soon, I wait for you, I am your consciousness, I am the happy being, the one who grows and forms in the wet clay of infinite times, in the wind of the storms where the grace of the thick spell of the blue waves carries the brightness. "  " remerciements à la Terre et la Nature pour tout leurs bienfaits "A bientôt, je vous attends, je suis votre conscience, je suis l’être heureux, celui qui pousse et germe dans la glaise humide des temps infinis, dans le vent des tempêtes où la grâce de l’épais sortilège des vagues bleues porte la clarté." "création de peintures sonores originales"
