Welcome to NorthernAdult’s home page and thanks for visiting (we know that searching for our name on the web can sometimes be hazardous!).. Mark Gandy and Rick Welton formed NorthernAdult over 20 years ago, having previously played in a number of bands in and around Manchester
We love writing our own stuff, and to kick start the process, we always start off with a few beers in the bar in the garden to get us in the right zone. There are covers in there too, which tend to get the NA treatment – Grungy guitars, strong beats and harmonies..

Rick Welton (Drums / Vocals / Guitar)
