MVITA
It all started around the late 80′s at the Midland in West Didsbury and formed at the beginning of 88. We went from The Midland to playing the after show parties for most of the firms back in the day, The Mondays, The Stone Roses, New Order, 808 State, did loads of afters shows for 808 and others parties and got a name for just being our selves, you know and that’s how it all started. Called Mvita, flying the flag with the pyramid, sun and a moon, Mvita translated- ‘Manchester Vibes in the Area’ ( Alfonzo gives out a loud whistle) and that was the rallying cry
What was the Midland
The Midland was a pub in West Didsbury we turned into our own night club playing on a Thursday and Saturday night’s, the landlord was great because he’d let us do want we wanted so we’d get the curtains shut blocking the day light out, turn all the lights off, cover the pool table then bring in our own gear, put our flag up and we were away, it was just absolutely mind blowing really, it was brilliant.
