a witness - home
A fixture on the late 1980s UK indie scene; loved by John Peel and in demand from The Wedding Present, Sonic Youth and Half Man Half Biscuit as touring partners, the tragic death of guitarist Rick Aitken in 1989 meant the band never realised its full potential.
Glowing praise from Uncut magazine, The Sunday Times, the kisschase blog and the Manchester Evening News.
The celebrated late broadcaster John Peel's support of the band was instrumental in A Witness gaining appeal beyond the Manchester circuit. Bassist Vince Hunt remembers the sessions.
Featuring fan favourites including "I Love You Mr Disposable Razors", "Smelt Like A Pedestrian", "The Loudhailer Song" and "Nodding Dog Moustache".
A full list of all the band's albums, EPs and compilations.
Compilation album featuring the best of the 1980s underground scene, including A Witness, The Nightingales, Big Flame and the Inca Babies.
