Jonny Brown @ the JD Set Manchester, with Mike Joyce from The Smiths (amongst others!)

The Jack Daniels experience rolled into Manchester last night, with another legendary Set, this time a collaboration of Manchester's finest musicians, with Jonny Brown of Twisted Wheel being one of them (naturally!) coming together to re-work the epic Buzzcocks album 'Spiral Scratch'. With razor sharpe guitars and pure pop lyrics, it was set to be one hell of an evening.

Tickets were in limited supply as they were only issued to competition winners and invited guests.

As well as Jonny, the musicians included Mike Joyce of the Smiths, Tim Burgess of The Charletans, The Whip, Answering Machine and Dutch Uncles who had all been working hard and rehearsing together weeks prior to the event at Manchester's BluePrint Studios.

The venue for last nights public airing was Band On The Wall in Manchester. With a free glass of jack Daniels upon entering, the place was full of excited guests. Joining forces with Answering machine Jonny gave a fantastic performance of 'Promises', singing every line with a new found passion, the audience were full of admiration for the Wheel's lead singer.

After The Whip and Mike Joyce gave their own unique touch to 'Ever Fallen In Love', Jonny joined forces once more to give a blistering performance of 'Orgasm Addict', which got the crowd moving, with cries of wwwwhhheeeeelllll adding to the electric atmosphere. 'What Do I Get' (my own personal favourite) followed suit with Jonny getting the biggest cheer of the night for his part in this historic event.

With gift bags and free t shirts in hand, the crowd wound their way out into the night, with the thought that they had just witnessed Manchester's brightest up coming star - Jonny Brown of Twisted Wheel!!!
