Manchester Rafters: with Paul Hanley - Movements, Scenes, and Genres

Movements, Scenes, and Genres

We are back, and after the last episode where we spent our time in New Jersey, we are popping over the Atlantic to Manchester circa 1980. For this episode of MSG10 we have author, podcast host, and once drummer with The Fall, PAUL HANLEY. We discuss bands he saw at the legendary Rafters (and Fagins) venue in Manchester at the start of the 80s. And before you mention it, yes there are ten songs. And he also picked two by The Fall. We discuss Urban Tribes, The Fall going to gigs together, Nico looking for a (tape?), Manchester taking itself very seriously, being an occasional Goth, and much more.
