Manchester la la la. We're off to he music capital of the UK (if not the world) on this episode of Freshly Squeezed as Jim goes deep with three brilliant artists from the North West, each adding a different textures to the Manc music scene.

This weeks Bangin' bands...

Madame Claude: Fun, hectic and witty new-wave Ska from Oldham. Huge energy and infectious tunes from this highly-original five piece.

Sixth Day: An unsigned band who bring dirty, classic, 90s sensibilities to their indie sound. Big guitars, big choruses, big potential.

Ventelles: A new Manchester band that combines the sounds of Manchesters iconic names... but with a fresh twist. With a new label behind them and a new EP under their belts they're ready to tear the music scene a new one!
