RITUAL records, the indie-alternative offshoot label of Raw Fish Records, has just returned from a successful business trip to MIDEM 1999 in Cannes representing locals bands from the Bolton and Manchester areas.

Along with Factory Records and Fat City, Ritual put Manchester on the map as part of the Manchester Music City Stand.

And the company is currently on the look out for local bands from the alternative genres (Indie, Electronica, Trip Hop etc) for inclusion on its next compilation CD due for release later this year.

Any bands wishing to be included should send demos and biog to: Ritual Records, City College Manchester, Arden Centre, Sale Road, Northenden, Manchester M23 0DD.
