Come the end of January Mind On Fire will be running a string of 3 FREE events celebrate the launch of www.mindonfire.co.uk, the home of forward thinking Mancunian music.
So what is the idea behind the site?
Well in keeping with everything we at MindOnFire have been doing since our inception the site aims to bring inventive and often overlooked Mancunian music to a wider audience (this time that audience is a worldwide one).
It is about pride in a city full of diverse and inspiring talent and most importantly about a love of music that no matter how hard you try you just can’t shake.
The site will feature tracks from a wide variety of Mancunian musicians and producers, all available to download for FREE. If you don’t want to download them you can simply add them to a playlist which will stay open as you browse the interweb during your daily worldwide escapades. At MindOnFire we don’t like to be restrained by genre so artists we feature could stylisticly be anything from Hip Hop to Alt. Rock, Jazz and Funk to Electronica. Genre is of no importance, but the quality is consistent.
THE NATURAL CURRICULUM and friends http://www.myspace.com/naturalcurriculum
