    Mancunion: Pretenders live in Manchester: "Punk poetry, new ventures, and love letters to The Smiths" (November 2, 2023)

    I was at the gig. She had said earlier that they played a song in tribute to their second favourite guitarist - Johnny Ray. But that their favourite guitarist was Johnny Marr. A few songs laters we all sang happy birthday to Johnny, even though it was a week before his birthday.

    'I’ve Been Dreaming Of A Time When...' statement; "For Britain" support - Morrissey Central

    I've always voted Labour and probably always will, so I've never been comfortable with the Labour / Tories line in Irish Blood. His political outbursts have always landed flat with me - recent years he's had a pop at Andy Burnham, Nicola Sturgeon and others for no reason, other than his childish...

    Good record shops in Manchester

    Vinyl Revival if you want t-shirts. If you fancy a trip out of the city centre, get a tram to Stretford and go to Reel Around The Fountain records in Stretford Mall - go see Moz's old house and the Iron Bridge while you are there Dave

    "England Is Mine" trailer

    As a local lad, I recognise the green tiles of Stretford Public Hall staircase and the subway scenes next door at the Arndale / Stretford Mall. Both just around the corner from Kings Road. And the brief shot of Hi, I'm Johnny - just lovely. I was fairly ambivalent about the project up to now...

    "The Boy With The Thorn..." demo 7" confirmed for Record Store Day - The Future Heart

    'Limited' to 5000 copies. Five. Thousand. I won't be rushing off to Piccadilly Records and will probably pick one up from eBay later on. Dave

    Johnny's Autobiography

    Just in case anyone else has shelves that look something like mine, you might want to know that there are (at least) two versions of the standard edition of Set The Boy Free. The one on the left was an Xmas present, bought from Waterstones, the one on the left was bought from Rough Trade just in...

    Michael Stipe Mentions Morrissey in acast.com interview

    The longevity of the R.E.M. Thread here on Solo would suggest that there are a lot of fans of both. Both great bands, great front men and great artists. Dave

    Craig Gill - Inspiral Carpets / Manchester Music Tours RIP

    Awful news. Shocking. Just seen it on North West Tonight, lovely piece by them, much love from all to Craig. I wanted to come on to Solo to reach out to Juke Box Jury as I know how close you are to Craig - my thoughts and best wishes to his family and friends. Dave
