The Recreation in conversation with Oldham Chronicle journalist Simon Smedley

ROYTON indie prospects The Recreation continue to put the graft in on the Oldham and Manchester music scene, and all that hard work appears to be starting to pay off.

It’s three years since the current Recreation line-up — front-man and guitarist Owen Baldwin, lead guitarist Tom Atkinson, drummer George Porter and bassist Sam Sumner — came together, and the word is now clearly getting out. Listen to the band speaking exclusively to Oldham Chronicle music journalist Simon Smedley about gigs they've played, forthcoming shows, and their plans to release some new material.
