The Jannocks

About Me

From around the north of england a call was heard, settling on a smoky industrial metropolis where the sun rarely shines and the purple skies rain down on those below. From those red brick streets, already filled with sounds from decades gone by, some were drawn to a possibility, an opportunity to make as big a noise as possible, to dance around the embers of a dying flame. Five young bluesmen have been sat round that fire, swapping stories, telling tales, taking cues from those ingrained within the walls and slowly cultivating their talents, leading those who have heard them on a pied piper journey into the darker outskirts of the industrial wasteland. With the journey underway, and rivers and hills to walk, just listen out, see if the noise comes your way.............
