Designer Magazine (Music Website in Manchester)'s Networking
THE WEBSITE: Designer Magazine was set up over 8 years ago in Manchester as an alternative to the music press at the time. Sticking to the true mix and match culture of the noughties it's policy crossed boundaries including interviews with the likes of Bill Wyman from the Rolling Stones, Run DMC and The Temptations.
We also have interviewed some of the biggest bands arond now including My Chemical Romance, Panic! At The Disco, Muse, The Feeling, Editors, M.I.A, The Feeling, Razorlight
At the tail end of 2001 we also moved into the world of Television and Entertainment and have featured various interviews from comedy talent such as The Mighty Boosh, The Office, Bo Selecta, League Of Gentlemen and Phoenix Knights amongst others.
It's a formula that obviously worked as Designer Magazine is currently Manchester's 3rd largest independent source of entertainment news following the Manchester Evening News and City Life and attracts over 10,000 hits a week.
Our Journalists and photographers have worked for the BBC and various other publications and had their work published internationally
GIG PROMOTIONS: Nearly 3 years ago we also started promoting regular gigs and have put on bands such as:
Robbie Maddix (Stone Roses), Kid 4077 aka Nile Marr, Palladium, Brigade, Kids In Glass Houses, Dear Eskiimo (now The Ting Tings), Linchpin, Doug Walker, The Tigerpicks, Bombay Bicycle Club, Twisted Wheel, Carlis Star, El Policia, Engerica, Kick Superb, The Displacements, Pure Reason Revolution, The Hussys, Tom Hingley (Inspiral Carpets)....and many hundreds more!!!
We put on gigs at venues such as Night & Day, Music Box and Bar Amp. Recently we have also been working with Danny McNamara of Embrace / The Aftershow and have future gigs at The Aftershow @ Moho Live
Our showcase nights have been featured in national papers such as The Telegraph, Observer Music Monthly, Independent On Sunday, national music magazines such as NME and Clash Magazine and made the front page of Manchester Evening News. Our gigs have also had major features on Radio 1, XFM Manchester and all the local radio stations. Each gig is pushed out individually to 1250 press and media contacts
NOTE: A lot of promoters will bullsh*t ya - we just let the facts speak for themselves - check the press cuttings gallery out for proof!!!

My new song ‘TODAY OF ALL DAYS’ is collaboration with composer and pianist Elizabeth Anne Maddieton. http://www.myspace.com/pianorama and me, in shifting. The collaboration was totally digital, I love that we artists can work together no matter how far apart we live. I live in the United Kingdom and Elizabeth lives in the United States. So give it a play and enjoy the song that was made from far away.
Just reminding you all on about next Thursday (26th November 2009). We're playing a gig supporting KOF at The Dry Bar in Manchester. We'd really appreciate your support, tickets are £5 pre and £7 on the night but if you get back to me then you can go on the guestlist and you can pay just £5 on the door, how about that eh? If you are interested and are from Stoke we are going to try to arrange transport (depending on how many people show interest) so that you can get there. Love you XXXXXXXXXXXX -Popstar

THE MEKKITS! THE INLAND SEA EP - Released on 30/11/09
A call to arms from the perilous waters of the Island. Kinfolk cower in their homes as wild squalls rage fury on us. A far cry from the glassy seas and towering swells from which we profited only a few days ago. Respite cruelly prized from our grasp, our hopes of reprieve in calmer seas lie tattered, at least for now. Scathed but not scarred, we persist through relentless gales and cloudbursts on the fringes of the ocean, passing the church in the bay where many a reveler and mourner ha
