Manchester Beat
The Manchester area has nurtured thousands of musical acts, ranging in styles as diverse as Freddie and The Dreamers and Oasis.
Although many have been adopted on a national scale, others have managed to stir only local interest before their eventual demise. Despite their lack of national commercial success, they were part of the tremendous Manchester area music scene that played such a major part in our lives.
Proudly based in the sixties, these pages salute the groups, disc jockeys and clubs in the Manchester area that gave us all such a great time!

Dave Turnbull
Musician Dave Turnbull initially started his musical life playing guitar in the local bands of his home town of Middleton. However following a visit to a friends house where he was introduced to the work of the saxophone player John Coltrane, Dave put aside the guitar and picked up the saxophone and so began a relationship of captivation.
The Tenor Sax fascinates him as much now as it did then. As his musical ability continues to grow so does Dave's fascination with the saxophone. In his own words "I have played more sessions, depps and guest spots with more bands in more venues and more countries than I can remember but my thirst for musical challenges and live performance will never diminish".
