Silent Partners rocked Turnmills on Thursday night as they made their long-awaited debut at Get Loaded. It was a top night all round as it was also Dermo's birthday. Their next gig is at Jabez Clegg in Manchester on Sunday 17 October. Shaun Ryder and Terry Hall also stepped up to the turntables.

4 November sees a Factory triumvirate of Tony Wilson, Peter Hook and Shaun Ryder returning to Turnmills along with Clint Boon (ex-Inspiral Carpets).

Check out the photo gallery of Silent Partners @ Po Na Na on Monday.

Labels: Silent_Partners

The intimate Po Na Na club on Charles Street in Manchester (just along from the Lass O' Gowrie) played host to an In The City event headlined by Silent Partners last night. The other bands included Young Offenders (who lived up to their name after the show), Franc and Evanfly. And then there was Flipron, the band on immediately before SP, who featured a vocalist who sat down the entire show, played guitar, harmonica and accordion (not at the same time) and sang 8-minute long drinking songs!

Coming on late due to the plethora of aforementioned talent, Silent Partners oozed with confidence with Dermo showing a cool swagger on the tiny stage. Their sound is soulful and the songs, like Killer and News of the World, are instant classics. The falsetto backing vocals complemented Dermo's singing which is a downright revelation in its assured quality. It was all over too soon as the gig drew to a close with the refrain "You gotta give a little love and it all comes back to you" ringing over and over.

It was great to meet Dermo, Iain and everyone before and after. Watch this space for a photo gallery.

Unfortunately, Silent Partners are not playing Get Loaded this Thursday at Turnmills.

Dermo on the Silent Partners Messageboard explains: "We will unfortunately not be playing this gig, due to unforseen circumstances. The night will still be going ahead, and I'm sure it will be a great night. I'm sorry if any one has bought tickets especially to see us, but the cancellation cannot be helped. We will definitely be playing Get Loaded at Turnmills in the near future. Hope you understand."
