Monkey of the North

My love's a rocket on a college course.

About Me

Monkey of the North was formed in 2003 by producer/musician Dodd and musician and part time acrobat Jay Glover. Having written a fistfull of classics young Jay aka "The mighty cleaver" started collaborating with backyard gutter dog Chris Glover (Lead Vocals), and began writing and recording in Cambridge and Bristol. These songs were then rehearsed in Kendal with traffic donkey John Powney (drums) and drums were then duly recorded in Wilmslow. The songs you hear were also made possible due to the skill, time and dedication of Davey Holt and Dave Margetts. Various commitments and general life has put the monkey on hold for 3 years, so we are here finally. These 4 tracks are just a taste of whats to come so we are very busy from now on. We hope you enjoy and have lots of fun, feel free to leave a comment.
