This widely recognised band from Moston have been regularly gigging in North Manchester since 1997. 

In 1998, 10acre  won the NME competition against  all unsigned bands in the North West to support Mansun at Manchester Academy.

The band were invited to support The Chameleons at their homecoming gig at Middleton Civic Hall in Dec 2001.

In April 2001, 10acre  performed as part of Linder Sterling`s ''The Working Class go to Paradise'' at London`s ICA Theatre.

Recently, 10acre were asked by Manchester City Football Club to update 10cc`s 'Boys in Blue' record and  this is now  the new anthem for the  City of Manchester Stadium!!

-----------------

they describe their sound as "big, loud, smart, eclectic and intelligent."
The double front-man band have built a huge following in the city with their epic sound and driving contemporary indie rock.

"10acre are one of the best acts around" 

Johnny Marr (being interviewed by Jo Whiley on Radio 1), guitarist, The Smiths

"From Joy Division to the sculptural rock of 10acre ? they bend guitar

chords into a seeming infinity, with drums that make LED zeppelin sound

like the Smurfs."

 Michael Bracewell, The Guardian Review.
