Common Ideal

Straight off the back of their Postbox single release party the day before in London, Common Ideal came to the South Manchester suburb’s newest venue, Kamera Ballroom, to cut their teeth in the North.

FFFINOS

Almost 10 years after their first steps through the old
Dead Basic Studios doors, FFFINOS return!
We welcomed them back with open arms and tuned in once again to their trademark down-tempo grooves and comfy lofi tones. FFFINOS closed up the night at Document 6 with a soft spot for the familiar and the big nod to the scene we’ve been building all these years, it was a pleasure as always
