6 Music’s four-day festival is now firmly embedded in the Manchester music calendar and it shook the city with global premieres of brand new live shows, new music debuts, unique collaborations and surprise guests.

Gimp Fist, originally from Bishop Auckland, County Durham, has been together for 20 years with 10 albums, 4 singles, and 3 EPs. They face challenges in gaining recognition from the London-centric music press but have found a strong following at the Rebellion festival, where they’ve performed annually since 2008. Despite their success at Rebellion, they struggle with publicity and touring due to work and family commitments.
