Tramps & Horses

International Music Magazine

There’s a heartbeat in Manchester that keeps this place alive. It’s effects can be felt in every corner of the City, from the brightly lit to the dark and dangerous. It is rhythmic and mesmerising. It is soft and embracing. It is powerful and confrontational. It is gentle and calming. It ebbs and flows, growing and then subsiding. It is three and then seven. It changes and remains the same. It is all of this and yet it is none. It’s mortal name is Tramps & Horses, its cosmic name a secret. It is more than a band, more than a statement, more than politics. It is spiritual. It’s main scribes and voices are Vince and Dee. Its pulse is Keith and Neil. Its flamboyance and embellishment is Pete. Its charm and elegance from Anna and Vanessa. Try to pigeon hole their music and you’ll waste precious time. Just listen, then feel, then become a part of.
