At the end of the 1970s, Manchester seemed to be sliding into the
dustbin of history. Today the city is an international destination
for culture and sport, and one of the fastest-growing urban regions
in Europe. This book offers a first-hand account of what happened
in between. Arriving in Manchester as a wide-eyed student in 1979,
Andy Spinoza went on to establish the arts magazine City Life
before working for the Manchester Evening News and creating his own
PR firm. In a forty-year career he has encountered a who's who of
Manchester personalities, from cultural icons such as Tony Wilson
to Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson and influential
council leaders Sir Richard Leese and Sir Howard Bernstein. His
remarkable account traces Manchester's gradual emergence from its
post-industrial malaise, centring on the legendary nightclub the
Hacienda and the cultural renaissance it inspired. Manchester
unspun begins in the gloom of a city still bearing the scars of the
Second World War and ends among the shiny towers of an aspiring
twenty-first-century metropolis. It is an insider's tale of deals
done, government and corporate decision-making, nightclubs, music
and entrepreneurs. -- .
