The best ever combined Manchester band

[ColinBellsjockstrap]

Davy Jones of the Monkees was from Openshaw and went to Openshaw tech.

He always wanted to be a jockey.

He even appeared on Coronation Street as Colin Lomax with Ena Sharples.

Paul Young was born in Wythenshawe, wasn’t he?

Good singer.

The two blokes from Chemical Brothers could do a bit on mixing desk.

Benchill is a sub division of Wythenshawe. It’s the posh bit.

"Posh" and "Wythenshawe", in the same post? How much have you had to drink tonight?

Baguley only had a Hall. Benchill had the ‘Bench’

Yes, but there is Higher Baguley and Lower Baguley ( both with soft ' g ' ), you cant say that about Benchill

Yeah, that Baguley lot were always deniers and considered themselves as Gatley.

Steve Garvey from Buzzcocks? Good bass player.

He was also a crap singer, hired more for his looks and the fact he could act.

 

[Bill Walker]

I'd just pick these 4.....4 singers/songwriters (I know I know, I'm a FOC)

Each band member were great musicians, each could write number one hits, all of them top quality vocalists. Amazing
Here they are playing live. 7 great songs.

That’s really weird, how did they work that out ?

 

[urban genie]

lots of non mancs listed.

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