Frodsham so no thanlfully, about as manc as Morrissey and Ian Brown are

 

[Sky Blue Thinking]

Liam Gallagher - vocals.
Johnny Marr and Billy Duffy - guitars
Jim Glennie- bass.
Reni - drums.
A Manc blues supergroup.

 

[Nightmare Walking]

lots of non mancs listed.

Shouldn't the criteria be that are from manchester rather than they played in a band associated with Manchester?

What you defining as Manchester? Just the City of Manchester?

yes born withing the boundry or lived a substantial time within it as a resident

Always found it funny we will say the rags aren't in manchester because they ain't yet we accept other things as manc to suit the narrative.

cannot have it both ways ;-)

 

[Nightmare Walking]

yes

There's not actually that many from the City of Manchester.
Can't have New Order or Joy Division, who literally put Manchester on the map as the instigators of Manchester as a musically cultural City.
You can't even have Mani, who's from Failsworth, even though it is nearer to town than Wythenshawe is.

Wythenshawes in Cheshire, not really Manchester anyway just an overspill estate given special dispensation because it has it's own airport ;-)


on New Order, Gillain is from Whalley Range and broughton was in Manchester before it became a millowners hamlet and then after that part of Salford so get a pass.

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]
