And so we return... 2010-07-31
Hello Manchester... MOF return from Soundwave and get straight back to business with two Neighbourhood sessions as well as Tighten Up this weekend. We had an amazing time in Croatia, and massive thanks go out to everyone who made it out there with us and everyone involved with the festival... We had so much fun playing on the Friday and the boat party with TNC, Taste The Diff'rence and Riot Jazz was something else. Seriously, Manchester repped it hard out there, pats on the back to all involved.
Pictures, videos, blogs and all sorts of other stuff on the way, but first - we sleep.

Recorded the day after the bands gig at Band On The Wall, July’s podcast sees a slightly hungover Chim, aka James Fieldsend, aka the black heart of Mind On Fire working his way through some of his favourite records. Known to wield his axe with intent in the band his selections do lean towards more guitar based tunes although there are few surprises in the 55 minutes. Enjoy...
