Jim Noir

Jim Noir is a British singer-songwriter from Davyhulme in Manchester, England.

Noir, real name Alan Roberts (his stage moniker is in homage to Vic Reeves, whose real name is Jim Moir), has released two albums to date - 2005's Tower Of Love and the self-titled Jim Noir in 2008. The album and all of the preceding EPs were self-recorded at Noir's home in the suburb of Chorlton in Manchester. His music has been described as psychedelic pop and compared to The Beach Boys, The Beta Band, The Bees and fellow Mancunian Badly Drawn Boy. He is also known for a slightly eccentric dress sense, frequently appearing in a bowler hat. Noir is a multi-instrumentalist, playing all the instruments on his work.

He is currently signed to Seattle-based indie label Barsuk Records in the States, whilst Atlantic UK licence him from Manchester label My Dad Recordings.

Noir released the single "My Patch" in the UK in 2006 and the same year Adidas used Eanie Meany for their World Cup advertising (Josè +10, second part). The song begins "If you don't give my football back, I'm gonna get my dad on you."

‘Music City 411- Robin Gibb Tribute

By: Andrew Vaughan

It’s truly heartbreaking to see the pain Robin Gibb’s family is going through right now. The Bee Gees singer is in a coma after suffering with liver cancer and most recently pneumonia. Of course, several big name pop acts have passed away recently- Davy Jones of The Monkees probably the most recent. Now I knew Davy to talk to but I’d never met his family. Which is why hearing about the Gibb family’s pain surrounding Robin is so difficult to handle.
