“I know these posts were a while ago but i thought id set the recored straight about Plenty, i was the lead singer and think i know who wrote the first post very sad man you are.
Plenty were managed by Phil Saxe who was head of A&R for Factory, he also managed the Mondays originally, as regards to a click being used we didn't, just had a great back line. Anyway heres some more info.
Plenty. Four boys from the South Manchester suburbs, managed by Phil Saxe, Factory Records Head of A & R and ex Happy Mondays manager. Their star shone briefly but brightly on the cusp of the Madchester music scene of the late eighties , early nineties. Despite other promises and offers of recording deals, Plenty pinned their hopes to the Factory Records mast aspiring to become part of the labels legacy. Sadly it was not to be, the usual band infighting, musical disagreements and the original Factory Records collapse conspired against the band, resulting in the frustrated quartet's sad demise

> It had started so well. From numerous incarnations the band evolved into Plenty. Featuring Phinny (guitar/vocals), Andrew "Duke" Walker (Keyboards/vocals), Andy "Whit" Whittaker (Bass) and Rick Payne (Drums). One fine day, Duke (a hairdresser) had a customer come into his shop for a haircut. That man was Phil Saxe. Thus after watching Plenty rehearse he became the band's manager. The band went in the studio and recorded tracks. They quickly received airplay on local radio, Picadilly Key 103 and KFM. Under Phil's guidance the band went from strength to strength. Their meoldic brand of indie pop, classic 3 minute tales of lost love and teenage dreams being a winning formula, gaining a large loyal following and receiving plaudits from Ian Broudie and Gary Crowley amongst others. Plenty toured nationally and shared stages with Bridewell Taxis, Northside, The Wendys, culminating in a headline gig at the legendary Hacienda. History shows that Plenty were the only unsigned band to headline the Hac, ever, a feat they are still proud to hold to this day. The band's impressive early achievments mean that Plenty should not be allowed to be forgotten.
>So if you yearn for classic melodic guitar pop, desperate for powerful drum charged synths and appreciate teenage lyrical tales of lost love then you need Plenty
