mi©k - I've got chicken rythms on CD somewhere, drop me a mail if you want a copy sending out (or could rip/zip/email)... Its a long time since I listened to it but if I remember it didnt live up to my expectations,,, the single version "Rising Star" (FACD298) was much better as well. Now I'm showing my age!! is it really 20 years ago..... [looks in mirror, yes it was 20 years, dear me...]
Next week can we have a "Rave" reminisce session so I can:
1. Setup my "ghetto blaster" in the garage
2. Order white gloves and whistles fom eBay
3. Purchase the iPhone "Strobe" app
4. Chomp a few "disco biscuits" and throw some shapes
5. Cover myself in vic's and tell the entire forum (who I have not met before) that I love them all.
LOL @ Duckers............I was a big shareholder in tigerbalm!!!

not quite madchester technically IIRC but there or there abouts
Re the Ed Barton vid, didn't he have some sort of 'performance space'/secondhand shop in Afflecks a while back?
Must confess to not having heard of him in a musical context, though I do remember 'It's a fine day' by 'Jane' from the Peel show.
Just looked him up on Wiki - seems like a proper interesting character.
That's right. He's still going too - check out this, I'm sure some of it is filmed in chorlton brook I think. I see him around Chorlton a bit. I suspect the new Hulme wasn't right for his wood collection
anyone remember this?
The song that launched a thousand bike races (well... four to be exact)

I used to think that Brix was well fit, but she dances like my mum.
I had a particularly nasty cold recently and bought myself some Vapo Rub to try to help me sleep.
Had a Proustian moment as I lay on my sickbed, transported to a squat rave in Peckham in 1990.
Ah man this is great, Paris Angels - Perfume is currently going roundy roundy on the office record player (as an aside one of the guys brought his teenage daughter who had never seen a record player - we all felt incredibly old !). In the box of vinyl fun we also have New FADS, James, Inspirals and my personal fave although not Manchester - The Real People. I still think Window Pane is brilliant 🙂 Now, if anyone has that on CD I'd love a copy as while i have the sleeve for the album its got a mahoosive scratch right across it, in fact, more of a gouge !
NZCol - you've just reminded me! I've got a compilation CD called Madchester. I should list the tracks on here - see if it jogs Mr Ralli's memory (if he's still interested 😉 )
Ed Barton performed last Friday in Prestwich (not sure if the write up has been posted yet): http://www.theshangrila.co.uk/
I used to work behind the bar at the Hacienda at its peak. I've seen pretty much all these bands in there. While sampling the wares of the various dodgy door-men who actually ran the place 🙂
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaah happy days indeed 🙂
T-Coy, Carino
The Ritz! That brings back some memories. You could always tell if you had natural rhythm in that place because if you didn't the sprung dance floor would swing up and **** you.
The Sahngrila looks like a laugh and is only just up the road from me.
Think me and the missus will give it a whirl.

Nzcol, I have a copy of the Window Pane Album and some Real People CD singles, just about to listen to it for 1st time in years,drop us an Email (in profile) and I will send you a copy.
Top were a good band as well, bit like the Real People, No1 Dominator was one of theirs.
World of Twist class act, wouldnt mind a copy of the Quality street album, lost mine, got a few World of Twist CD singles and vinyl like The Storm 12", superb just wish it had been pressed better.
Came across a Senser album , stacked up, in the collection, not madchester but may be what the OP was after?
Blimey, this has taken me back
anyone here remember the ranch bar, rafters, the russel club and placemate 7 🙂
or in fact anyone remember Blurt ?
World of Twist are on Itunes believe it or not???
Blurt - my mother was a friend of the enemy of the people....
Big Flame anyone?
Wow am I late to this post....
Anyway I reckon it's the [u]SONG[/u] that's one word beginning with S, not the band...
And the answer is:
"Skidoo" by Toss The Feathers,
see:
Monday night Ritz classic!!
also late 🙄
