Thanks for the nice comments and it's good to see I am influencing some people (today BEA, tomorrow the students!)

I find it hard to identify to a scene and the only one that springs to mind is:

Manchester (late 2000s/early 2010s) - various genres

Elbow, Doves, I Am Kloot, Hurts, Delphic, Wu Lyf, Marconi Union, Nine Black Alps

I saw Starsailor also mentioned in the Manchester scene (guess since Wigan is in Greater Manchester).
