Fact. When I were a lad in Failsworth, there were three lads that I knew all within spitting distance that went on to play in very well known bands.

Black Dyke Mills brass band?Fact. When I were a lad in Failsworth, there were three lads that I knew all within spitting distance that went on to play in very well known bands.
I'm mates with a fella who toured with the Mondays and James, with his band trainset. (Booty, if anyone knows him, a decent guitarist and sound fella)
They were signed to the same label, but never made it.
Anyway, this guy tells a story, and I've no reason to disbelieve him, that one night his band and the Mondays ended up back post gig at my mates flat in mcr. (James weren't in attendance)
Obviously there's some participation taking place, and unfortunately, the gaff gets raided by Manchesters finest.
Now booty isn't a druggy as such, but he likes a spliff, as many do.
So he, amongst others, gets arrested for possession, and gets taken into custody.
He's not too worried, as it's only possession, no worries, a fine and a slap on the wrist.
Gets in front of the beak next day, and the judge decides he's had enough of this and gives him 6 months lol.
He spent 3 months in strangways for possession pmsl.
Unfortunately the prison time didn't teach him much of a lesson, given that he spends far too much time at mine smoking "herbal roll ups" while pretending to teach me guitar.

A good friend of my wife wrote whole again by Atomic kitten but sold it to whoever produced/managed them and so doesn’t appear on any of the credits and of course gets none of the royalties. It went on to top the charts for 4 weeks and sold over 2m copies. I think she got £10k for it.
So that’s who’s responsible for that Southgate chant.
Or THE THE THEA bit like "THE The Smiths"

When he was a penurious youngster, Cat Stevens sold all rights to “The First Cut is the Deepest” to PP Arnold for £30. It became a world wide hit for six artists.
