The Grim Up North Manifesto - Setlist

Manifesto returned on 24th January for the first part of The Very English Manifesto - The Grim Up North Manifesto (to be followed by the Middle England Manifesto on 28th February and the Sexy Southern Manifesto on 28th March).

Any expectations of a quieter January after our busiest month yet, the Christmas Rock'n'Roll Manifesto, were confounded as this month proved to be even busier ... perhaps people got word of the Kendal Mint Cake and Pontefract Cakes that were liberally dispersed around the Vauxhall Griffin, maybe they were after the free shots of Vodka, happen as maybe they came to see Elsie Tanner & Ena Sharples having it out in The street on the big screen. Or they could have just heard about the great music ...
