Some VERY old photos from the archives here as we celebrate 15 years of Scruff of the Neck!

We started in 2010 in a pub in Manchester called The Rampant Lion. From early on playing in our own bands we knew that to run the best gigs you needed to offer more than just booking a venue and sticking a poster up, so we started doing more outside the gig to help sell it out and attract the most promising bands.

The record label was formed recording bands in a suburban bedroom, getting a pal to do a music video, ringing around local radio stations and burning CDs ourselves on a home computer. We started managing bands as we fell a bit too much for them when working together.

Fast forward to now, and we’re an award winning label strategically partnered with some of the world’s biggest independent companies working consistently the most exciting artists every year. Our live business continues to flourish with over 3,000 live shows to date, now running over 300 shows a year with artists from breakthrough to international touring level.

Please join us in Manchester this Thursday as we celebrate our 15 Years by throwing a huge Birthday Party! There will be live performances from Body Water and Malcom as well as a limited edition Birthday Beer! All are welcome!
