THREE Warrington bands are joining forces for a triple headline gig in Manchester.

Indie pop band No One Sun described it as a privilege to be sharing a stage with Fort Myers and Sweet Release at Club Academy on Friday, September 30.

Drummer Craig Warburton, from Newton, said: "We’re really excited about it and it’s a privilege to be on the same bill as such talented bands.

"We had a great time on the main stage at Blackthorn Festival in July so it’s great to follow it up at a well-known Manchester venue.

"I think the fact that we have a night like this showcasing Warrington talent is a testament to the amount of good musicians and artists we have in the area and we're looking forward to watching the other bands."

No One Sun started life when frontman Nick Noone, a former Newton High pupil, and guitarist Jamie Hewson, a former Lymm High School pupil, met through another band in 2011 and started sending each other ideas.

These gradually evolved into the 2013 album, All We Rely On Is Stolen, which Nick and Jamie performed, produced and released themselves.

It got such positive feedback that they decided to put a band together and take the show on the road.

Since then, No One Sun have released the six-track EP Bogota in 2014 and follow-up record Ghosts this year.

The four-piece have been named a 'future classic' by radio station Real XS three times and their tracks have also been featured on New York's Factory Fast Records.

They have even caught the ear of Mike Stock, from hitmakers Stock, Aitken and Waterman after he heard their track, Home.

"We've worked hard and it’s slowly paying off," added Craig, a former Selwyn Jones student.

"It’d certainly be nice to be able to do this for a living. A major support slot and more festivals would be a great way to get out to audiences and then we’d see how big the band can get.

"There is no feeling like appreciation from an audience. Looking from the stage and seeing people enjoy the music makes it all worthwhile. It’s the reason for getting out there and playing."
