Also we are the top boys in ips song off of channel u

Wait until @Slothrop starts the London borough thread - when this one’s done and dusted

They're from Burnley which is not a city. Demdike was the name of a Pendle witch

The nearest major city tends to act as a hub though, so Demdike getting involved with Boomkat and co. falls under Manchester, imo.

It's like how radio 1 dj colin murray is technically from dundonald, slightly east of belfast, but it's generally considered a suburb of belfast

No prob, though for the purpose of this thread I think hke/dream catalogue is based in London actually so maybe shouldnt count

think Sangam is still MCR though and he makes some great stuff. incredibly prolific like a dozen albums a year

Bristol - DJ Nature/Milo ex Wild Bunch, now state-side

I used to chuckle to myself every time we visited my in-laws near Rugby, thinking Spacemen 3 once waited on the very same train platform.

I think Delia Derbyshire made pretty much all her music whilst living in London, outside of the BBC I know she had a studio in Camden with Dave Vorhaus. It's kinda hard to not see her music as a product the BBC studio & people she met there.

It's late but I'll add

David Rodigan - Oxford
Rod Temperton (Heatwave & MJ) - Lincolnshire
John Martyn - somewhere between Surrey & Glasgow.
John McLaughlin (Mahavishnu Orchestra, regular Miles band member etc) - Doncaster
Soft Machine - Canterbury (+ the whole Psychedelic Canterbury scene)

I'm not going to update the list in the voting thread, but feel free to vote for late entries anyway if you want.

London boroughs and / or satellite towns might be fun but someone else can do that.

Colchester: Blur, Ray Keith, Paradox, Waltztek
