The definitive account of the pop cult capital of the UK by Dave
Haslam, one of Manchester's top DJs and journalists. Manchester, a
predominantly working-class city, away from the nation's capital,
has been at the margins of English culture for centuries. The
explosion of music and creativity in Manchester can be traced back
from Victorian music hall and the jazz age, to Northern Soul and
rock and roll, through to acid house and Oasis. But its roots are
in Manchester's history as a melting pot of popular idealism and
dissent, from the industrial revolution on, via film, theatre,
comedy and TV. And for Manchester, read England and the world. Dave
Haslam is uniquely placed to tell this story - Manchester, England
is as witty, erudite and passionate as you would expect from a man
who can say, again and again, "I was there". Like Jon Savage's
England's Dreaming, this is the last word on the abiding centre of
40 years of UK pop culture.
