Mind on Fire

We are a Manchester based collective of musicians and Djs united by a relaxed and open minded approach to making and sharing music. Since September 2004 we have been organising gigs and clubnights under the MindonFire moniker, trying to expose the unseen local talent and provide an alternative to a music industry often riddled with hegemony and unoriginality, as well as working with more established artists from both Manchester and further afield.
