It's almost scary when things align like this. August is our anniversary month on the CJAM airwaves. We're starting our 28th year bringing you the best of the British indie/alternative scene. August (10th to be exact) is the anniversary of Tony Wilson's passing. It's been 10 years since we lost the Manchester musical hero. Cherry Red Records released it's latest box set, Manchester North Of England. So you the end result could be nothing more than our anniversary show celebrating Tony Wilson and the music of Manchester.
