They were **** hot [video=youtube;joNeiTmW-jo]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=joNeiTmW-jo&feature=related[/video]
A bit before Spaced but one of my first gigs was The Las...Parr Hall in Warrington I saw them [video=youtube;HBwU7cPcGn0]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HBwU7cPcGn0&ob=av2n[/video]
Saw these at the Royal Court (similar era) [video=youtube;In75rgGsp4A]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=In75rgGsp4A&feature=relmfu[/video] [video=youtube;9tLkM2fMyfM]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9tLkM2fMyfM&feature=related[/video] (remember this from the ITV footy highlights ) [video=youtube;waacof2saZw]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=waacof2saZw&ob=av2e[/video] (embarrasing but in my defence free tickets to this one )
Lee Mavers is from Page Moss Avenue,i remember waiting to pick me bird up from work(a shop accross the rd from Lee's house)and they were as loud as **** practicing,but they were brilliant when the practice stopped and their career started Billy.
Mate Lee was brilliant but he just got messed about. That album should've been the prelude to great things but as it was it ended up being their only album. Sad story really eh.
This is more my era Billy. [video=youtube;uqrQuNpgMyU]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uqrQuNpgMyU[/video]
Always remember this from the video jukebox in the the Thatched House on Picton Rd [video=youtube;8eHUEY_UMeA]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8eHUEY_UMeA&feature=related[/video]
I read an interview with John Powers a few years back saying Lee was still working on an "epic" second album kinda think it's a bit late for that now....think it's fair to say Manchester took the musical lead in those days and not sure as a city its ever looked back from the whole "Madchester" thing to be honest....gotta get some sleep mate but in the interests of redressing the Manchester/Liverpool split I'll leave you with one of the reasons I always felt the whole manchester scene (as the media liked to call it) was more of a north west thing 3 points needed today mate YNWA [video=youtube;Tul76y8cNoQ]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tul76y8cNoQ[/video] [video=youtube;0RJwW77Lsj8]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0RJwW77Lsj8&ob=av2e[/video] (The Charlatans were from Northwich so hardly Manchester and their first 3 albums were class...then Burgess went to L.A. for a year and they've done **** all good since haha)
Night Billy(catch you over the weekend),i will agree Lee's chance came at the dawning of Manchesters time as the music capital of the northwest.
