Northern Quarter were formed in Loughborough, UK in 2001. We play acoustic based material taken from our 2 CDs One of these Songs is about You from 2005 and our new 2008 release Busy Missing Everything. Both CDs are available from CD Baby by clicking the links on this site.

Here's what other people say about us...
‘One of these Songs is about You’… “A collection of softly spoken acoustic numbers and more upbeat pieces with tracks like 'Giving Up' and 'Time on my Mind' standing out. Its like that CD you get 4 tracks into at a mates house before heading down the road to get your own copy. “
Loughborough Echo June 2005
"One of our favourate bands. Sweet harmonies, clever songwriting. A very very talented band. "
Running Horse Music Pub, Nottingham
"Northern Quarter are a band who have quickly established themselves at the top of the tree as far as local acoustic music is concerned…
Driven by their lynchpin guitarist singer and songwriter Gerry Farrow aided by fellow singer and songwriter Vicky Warburton, the 5 piece have become a popular draw at the town’s acoustic venues…
As ever the set was a mix of covers and their own material, which included some new songs of which ‘Lost’ was a notable highlight.
Vicky and Gerry are a great pair like a seasoned premiership strike partnership, while behind them the band don’t put a foot wrong. It makes for a good night."
Loughborough Echo, Friday 10th March 2006
"This band are really making a name for themselves. Superb vocals, brilliant arrangements. One of the smoothest original acoustic bands I have ever come across"
Running Horse Music Pub, Nottingham - April 2007
