As promised this column will delve into the Manchester music scene from time to time, and tomorrow night (Saturday) sees the launch night for new album 'Passion, Pain and Loyalty' from the mighty fine indie outfit Orphan Boy.
Originally from Cleethorpes but now based in Manchester, this is the bands second album after 2008 effort Shop Local. The new album sees the band taking on a more mature sound, which is already proving popular, with hometown club Grimsby Town using track Some Frontier as the team enter the pitch, and Manchester City using the same track to promote their new away shirt.
The band have built up a strong following both in Cleethorpes and Manchester, and after a BBC Introducing gig and a festival apperance at Kendal Calling the Orphanites, as the bands fanbase are known, are on the increase.
With the profile of the band on the rise, Saturday will be a special night, with an after party following the gig across the road at Jabez Clegg.
Tickets £7 in advance from ticketline.co.uk
