Big thank you to @JackStocker5 for taking beautiful pictures at the #NorthernPublishersFair last weekend.

A special day at @MancLibraries celebrating the innovation of Northern Publishers.

The fair is in its 4th year!

@KenzieMillar Hi Kenzie! Hope you're well =) Would you be able to DM me please, as I'm not able to send you one? Just a quick query about a project we were both involved in.

@fly_press can vouch that I am not a weirdo. (No more than anyone else anyway.) =)

"Deep down you know things are gonna be alright, because we're from the North." says @joemcgrath95 in our video for the @Northern_Soul_ Awards. Wise words, chap!

We did it. We proper did it. We celebrated, we awarded, we said loads of nice things about the North at the 2018 Northern Soul Awards at Manchester Cathedral. Check out the film we made for yerself.

@theukepunk Hello! I don't know whether you guys remember, but we at @Northern_Soul_ interviewed you a few years back for what was the Rammy Fest. Essentially, we're making a few more videos, and we wondered whether Ukepunk would grace us to let us use your music for them? :)
