There was 35 people in the audience that night at the (Lesser) Free Trade Hall. Half of Manchesters 45 to 55 year olds used to claim they were there at the time.

The other half claim to be close friends of "the quality street gang".

As for MM, good riddence to old rubish.

Malc and Tony Wilson, both were geniuses

Never seen the film, was it good?

Piss off with your pointless post, you arse.

Actually, it's very, very good! If you know about music, Factory, Joy Division, Madchester etc (I don't), I think you would really enjoy it. Steve Coogan is excellent in it (and I don't usually like his stuff at all), lots of cameos/location work, lots of really good 70s/80s scenes that are well done, really interesting, very funny. Christopher Ecclestone has a cameo, too. I've seen it twice, might get it again now that I am thinking about it.

"Never seen the film, was it good?" I thought you meant the rock n roll swindle at first, which is appalingly bad (imho). 24 hour party people is an entirely different proposition – crackingly good film.

Arrogant, up himself, misanthrope.

He shall be sorely missed.

But not by me.
