I am surprised no-one has yet mentioned the internationally known Brian Peters who lives quite close to Manchester. He spent many years singing in the local clubs, particularly Harry Boardman's club at the Unicorn. Mark Dowding has recorded many of Harry's songs and is known nationally. The late lamented Terry Whelan was a Mancunian born and bred. Dave Bishop although originating from East Anglia still sings in the area. Sue vG and Nine pints are also Manchester singers. Come on, there are lots more out there!
