After three years in the wilderness after the split of their previous band Freewheeler in 2002, Andy and Declan decided to give the covers game a go and, after recruiting drummer Mark, formed Northern Vinyl in late 2005. The lads quickly went about rehearsing a set of classics by bands such as the Who, the Jam, the Faces, the Stones, Elvis Costello, as well as current bands of note such as The Fratellis, The View, The Enemy etc and found themselves well suited to the three piece set up, as each of the band are experienced musicians.

Arming themselves with a set containing upwards of 30 songs in 3 short months, the band played their first gig on 3rd March 2006 and have continued to expand their repetoire to over 65 songs and play more and more gigs across Leeds and as far a field as the East Coast.

After two years on the circuit, the band have received praise wherever they have gone and have built up quite a following. The lads have stormed gigs big and small, shows of note include the Bridlington Scooter weekender, appearances at the Leeds Irish Centre and the Morley Christmas Lights Switch On 2007 show, which is the biggest yet.

Catch them at a venue near you!
