Bolton
Bolton (, locally ) is a large town in Greater Manchester in North West England, formerly a part of Lancashire. A former mill town, Bolton has been a production centre for textiles since Flemish people, Flemish weavers settled in the area in the 14th century, introducing a wool and cotton-weaving tradition. The urbanisation and development of the town largely coincided with the introduction of textile manufacture during the Industrial Revolution. Bolton was a 19th-century boomtown and, at its zenith in 1929, its 216 cotton mills and 26 bleaching and dyeing works made it one of the largest and most productive centres of Spinning (textiles), cotton spinning in the world.

The 2001 event, was somewhat notoriously notable for Phill Jupitus stretching out the time it took to announce the "Best Producer" award, with him exclaiming "Best Producer?.... 'Would you like a cowbell in that?'", before being told off camera to get on with announcing the winner.

4 AM (Cherry Ghost Song)
"4 AM" is the jangly, alt-country-influenced third single taken from Cherry Ghost's top 10 debut album '' Thirst for Romance''.

These topics are represented in modern mathematics ...." The 7" vinyl single features an original demo of "Mary on the Mend," which bears little resemblance to the album version. Although previous single "People Help the People" entered the UK singles chart at #27, "4 AM" failed to make the top 100 (entering at #128). Promotion for the album began to subside shortly thereafter. A music video was produced for the song, being the first video to feature the entire band. Tra ...
