THEY’VE recently smashed the prestigious Blackthorn Festival in Stockport, and now it’s time for OK Broken’s focus to switch to two massive gigs at the end of the summer. The Oldham indie-rock outfit — Gaz Wright, Phil McArdle, Adam Heap and Dave Furnival — have enjoyed a hectic 2016 so far, and soon arriving on the agenda is an important and feverishly-anticipated showcase night at Manchester’s famous old Ritz venue, where OK Broken will star alongside other highly-rated outfits Educated Risk, The Slumdogs, The Dirty Saints and solo hopeful Liam McClair. The band will also feature on a talent-stacked card at a 'Musicians Against Homelessness' fund-raising showcase at the Miners Arts Centre. Listen to Oldham Chronicle journalist Simon Smedley speaking exclusively to bassist McArdle all about Ok Broken's exploits, and his new side project.
