' An extraordinary history... The range of voices breathing new
life into past events is vast' **** Mojo ' The Morrissey and Marr
recollections are particularly revealing' The Word The Buzzcocks.
Joy Division. The Fall. The Smiths. The Stone Roses. The Happy
Mondays. Oasis. Manchester has proved to be an endlessly rich seam
of pop-music talent over the last 30 years. Highly opinionated and
usually controversial, stars such as Mark E. Smith, Morrissey, Ian
Brown and the Gallagher brothers have always had plenty to say for
themselves. Here, in John Robb' s new compilation, Manchester' s
gobbiest musicians tell the story of the city' s thriving music
scene in their own words. When the Buzzcocks put on the Sex Pistols
at Lester Free Hall in 1976, they kickstarted a musical revolution
and a fervent punk scene exploded. In 1979 the legendary Tony
Wilson founded Factory Records, the home of Joy Division/New Order
and later the Happy Mondays. The Hacienda, the Factory nightclub,
became notorious in the late 1980s as a centre of the influential
Madchester scene, led by the Mondays and the Stone Roses, with a
unique style and sound of its own. Then, from the ashes of
Madchester rose u ber-lads Oasis, the kings of Britpop and the
biggest UK band of the 1990s. John Robb is a leading music
journalist and the author of the bestselling biography of the Stone
Roses. His other books include Punk: An Oral History, The
Charlatans ... We Are Rock and The Nineties: What the F**k Was That
All About? He lives in Manchester.
