About Me

'Sublime folk-pop...something special' Observer Music Monthly

'There is a timeless quality to 'King Of The Gypsies', insofar as the songwriter has no one year in which he can pull up to the stage with this sack full of thoughts.'High Voltage

'..Shot through with something deeper than your average guitar band..there's a streak of contemplative beauty running through their strong melodies.' Manchestermusic.com

'Expect big things from this group... THE highlight of Manchester music.' 97.3fm WRIR (USA)

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 3/1/2006
Band Members: Satellites formed in 2006. Most members of Satellites have switched roles, from vocal duties & guitars, to drums & electronics and vice versa. The most consistent line up thus far appears to be: Nick (lead vocals, guitars, drums), Chris (guitars, keys, drums, BV's, harmonica), Nathaniel (lead guitar) with all of our favourite and most talented friends coming in and out of what is a revolving door. Coming from musical directions as diverse as their cultural backgrounds in Manchester, Satellites brings to life a unique sound wrought by the merging of these different minds with different sights. Inventive, variable and energetic, their music is best described by listening for yourself. Future plans include more live performances, recording sessions and tours of surrounding cities throughout North and Southern England and beyond.
