Get the book "Panic on the streets" that should tell you all the places and how to get there.

I'm going to be there at the end of this month. I can't believe it's finally happening. I hope you get more responses to this thread. I'm playing close attention.

I'ld be happy to show you round the East End Morrissey attractions! I'll even buy you breckfast at The Turks Head! Sure Paul c, Madam Chaos and Maurice C will join us.
It would be nice to meet you.

I would like to go down to Manchester for a day or two just to see whats its like. I was in Liverpool before and it was like going in a time machine back to what Dublin was like in the eighties and early nineties.Everything seemed so old and to be falling apart.It just seemed really dead.My friend said every city in the uk is pretty boring apart from London anyway.

would love to go too...some day..
I have heard morrissey musing several times how manchester has changed but not in a postitive way..
as early as in that bbc radio one "my top 10 " show in 1984 as well as in some interviews in later years
(the downloadink for that radioshow ^is still valid)
can some fellow mancunian share their personal view/ can comment on the changes manchester did go through..do you share morrissey`s point of view?
i know that for example that some old buildings i have been demolished
morrissey muses about it
a video of someone doing the "smiths tour" around manchester

Handy print out guide
Jukebox Jury kindly posted a thread of a compact walking tour plan:

Ideally you read the book Panic on the Street before set off and bring JJ's print out guide.
If you're planning to visit Manchester I'd advise you to send a PM to JJ.
If he isn't busy he might be happy to help you.

Cool. Thanks for all the info. It would probably be next month if I was going.
Actually I'm just sitting thinking and realising I have a few links to the place. My dad grew up there and I have first cousins living there and an aunt too.There is probably a load of second cousins there too lol.

The tour looks a bit depressing from that second video. I dont want to spend all my time wandering around a graveyard. I think I will go when that play os on 'a taste of honey' as I wil need something else to do.

Cough. Can I not be part of the gang now?
And 'Panic on the Streets' I cannot recommend enough. It has both London and Manchester locations, so there's no need for anything else.

well I went to a free music festival in liverpool last weekend with hundreds new bands and tribute bands include a "smiths" one. I think over 700 000 people went. I also went to the Klimt’ exhibition which will never be shown outside Austria and it was packed ! also all museums in liverpool and manchester are free unlike erm.... london! so maybe your just uncultured or jealous after all the liver building are a World Heritage site and Liverpool is European Capital of Culture 2008!

That is great. I'm not trying to put down Liverpool.I'm just giving the honest, first impression I had of the place.Maybe if I went again I would have a different experience of it.You have to understand that before this I had not left Dublin for something like 10 years so that was my only means of comparison.

salford lads clubs can be quite hard to find and the area is not a good idea to go into if u dont know where ur going .I would get a taxi they will take u right to it just ask for St. Ignatius Walk salford.I have heard of tourists trying to find it on foot and have got lost and got mugged .

What parts of Liverpool did you visit if you don't mind me asking? and how long ago, it's really changed in the last 10 years
The Mathew st festival was great wasn't it?
The Smiths Indeed were good, did you see the Queen tribute band?

Relax, yes, I'm trying...
My boyfriend and I went on the bus from Piccadilly Gardens and didn't have any trouble (although it was the middle of the day). As I recall, Salford Lads Club is just round the corner from the bus stop.
(Some kids went past and commented: "They're mad, them", but there was no aggro).
