Manchester’s Unknown Territories will be playing a one-off show this weekend in aid of Target Ovarian Cancer. The show will feature Tom Hingley from Inspiral Carpets on vocals along with Esther Maylor from Heavy Salad, Rikki Turner from Paris Angels and Seán Crossey, also putting in lead performances. Martin McLaren supplies the beats Liverpudlian duo Ruins will support, and Seán Crossey will be deejaying.
This will all take place at The Eagle Inn, 19 Collier Street, Salford, M3 7DW, on Saturday 16th December from 6 pm onwards. All proceeds will be going to Target Ovarian Cancer.
Unknown Territories is a Mancunian supergroup of sorts; what started out as an idea between Rikki Turner (Paris Angels) and Martin McLaren grew into a project with Seán Crossey, Esther Maylor (Heavy Salad), Tom Hingley (Inspiral Carpets), Lewis Jones and Callum Croston.
During the Summer of 2022, Rikki, Martin and Seán invited Esther along to record vocals on tracks the three had been working on, produced by Lewis and Callum at Spirit Studios in Manchester. The idea then grew, and Tom ended up getting involved on a few tracks, along with Seán appearing on a number of spoken word tracks.
Broken is the first single to be taken from the forthcoming album, and it features Esther’s gorgeous lead vocals. Big beats and thumping bass is the order of the day here. This may be Mancunian-born, but these are unknown territories.
“Unknown Territories is the project I’ve been working on with some extremely talented friends, and I’m proud to say we’re releasing the first single to be taken from the forthcoming album on November 17th. This has been a labour of love from all involved”. – Seán Crossey
