Industry bible ‘Music Week’ magazine will be giving away a special CD of goNORTH bands in next week’s issue, and a selection of those acts taking part will be invited to play a goNORTH night at Camden Barfly. Which isn’t very North at all. Unless you live in, like, Paris or something.

CD track-list and oodles more information available on their website.
