Musicians From Your Hometown
So Pit, which famous musicians come from your hometown?

Derby:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neil_Cooper_(drummer) - Therapy?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tony_Franklin_(musician) - played with Jimmy Page
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucy_Ward_(musician) - Folk artist
Jason Bowld - Drummer for Pitchshifter

Nottingham:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andy_Fletcher_(musician) - Duran Duran
JS Clayden - Pitchshifter Vocalist
Mark Clayden - Pitchshifter Bassist
Karl Middleton - Earthtone9 Vocalist

I guess Eva Spence (Vocalist - Rolo Tomassi) comes here as well now, as she recently relocated to Nottingham

Two of the Stone Roses went to my school.

If we're going to go broader and say "Manchester" then the answer is Oceansize.

The sole redeeming feature of Manchester is that it spawned Oceansize

Some dudes did a cover of Somebody that i used to know on one guitar that got like 150 million views from here. A really bad pre-teen core band that I've never heard a song by and Finger Eleven (which is just boring radio rock that I used to hear in supermarkets all the time).

So, nothing really interesting. Sleepy little suburb of 150,000 so it isn't all that surprising.
