Classic Morrissey interview on the One Show.
Adrian Chiles face when Morrissey replies “well why sympathise then?”
Not sure if the BBC has invited him back on since!

When they say "descend on Manchester", do they mean like with parachutes or abseiling from helicopters?

Morrissey fans seems weirder than most and like to congregate and embrace their Mozness. I like The Smiths, seen them a few times too. Seen loads of other similar groups too but never been to a fan-specific event. Not even The Fall ffs haha.

Is Frankly, The Smiths tribute act any good?

 

[Stuuuuuu]

Is Frankly, The Smiths tribute act any good?

No, because there's no such thing as a good tribute act.

 

[Mad Eyed Screamer]

Is Frankly, The Smiths tribute act any good?

I laughed at that comment saying they were the best tribute band. It’s the first I’ve ever heard of them.
The Smyths are the best I’ve seen.

The apologetic poster advertising £4 tickets to see The Smiths

The summer gig at Maxwell Hall, in Salford, was later named one of the 100 best concerts of all time.

Fascinating. Early U2 supported by The Comsat Angels, that's one gig I wish I'd been at!

I saw this tour at Warwick Uni, the October tour. Two great bands in one night

Agreed. I always thought the Comsats didn't get the recognition they deserved. I also think it's quite incredible how many of us on here were at the same gigs!

Can’t be arsed trying to read that on my phone. I’ve seen this a few times over the past couple of days. Is it an old piece regurgitated or a brand new piece?
