Manchester-based post-punk band A Certain Ratio were amongst the first to sign to Tony Wilson’s radical label Factory Records. They fuse funk with new wave and art-rock.
A Certain Ratio are Peter Terrell (guitar), Simon Topping (vocals, trumpet), Jez Kerr (bass guitar, vocals), Martin Moscrop (trumpet, guitar) and Donald Johnson (drums), with Martha Tilson (vocals)
Another brilliant performance from probally the most underrated band of the past 45 years (others of the stable have stood still, kept on churning out the old stuff and not developed) - they keep on moving, morphing and motivating - catch them live, buy their vinyl wear their merch with pride

What a great show. Two sets covering the band’s 40 plus year career. Superb musicianship as ever. The mix of new younger members and the three originals is a delight.

What a night, back to feeling like I’m 30years younger
