FYI we're not being paid for this...

There’s a chap round this way we’re quite fond of called Danny McFadden. He writes about clubbing and dance music for a variety things. You may have seen him in the Metro on your way to work. He was the one making the music sound exciting.

Danny also runs enigmatic ‘n’ amazing clubbing blog/website Northernights. Which is kind of like a successful and meaningful version of hyg with content on it. To ours and his delight the blog recently won the award for Best Arts and Culture Blog at the Manchester Blog Awards 2008.

Northernights is also nominated in the Best Blog category at this year’s Record of the Day awards. Voting – for those who ‘hold sway’ only – has closed but you can still do your bit by crossing your fingers and hoping that something Mancunian and non-shit wins the prize.

Oh, have a look at the Facebook group – now with added ‘Admins’.
