The Smiths & Morrissey thread

Annoyingly I have photographed a snippet from Bob Mortimer's book which details a semi-uneventful meeting with the former Smiths frontman. However, due to the size of the snap it won't allow me to attach it @Mad Eyed Screamer ...........

I'm not a fan all but interestingly my youngest daughter (17) was telling me that The Smiths have now become very popular with her age group. I was surprised that she had even heard of them, never mind liking them, to be honest. From K-pop to The Smiths in one huge leap. All I can say is that she hasn't got her taste in music from me.

Is it about having dinner with him? I remember him mentioning something similar on his podcast

My 14 year old grand daughter is a bit of an emo and pleased me greatly when I asked her what bands she was into and she reeled a few off including The Smiths......
I resisted the temptation to overwhelm her with all kinds of Smiths information and instead suggested listening to a Hatful of Hollow and going from there and let her explore the band in her own way and her own time

I sometimes go to watch the tribute band The Smyths. They do a gig at the Ritz every year (Dec I think this year) and it is always very well attended. Loads of students go to that.

I saw them when they first started out inuding a gig in an old warehouse in Bolton with Re-Order as support.
There was a healthyish crowd their for a midweek gig but once the New Order crowd left, there were around 20 of us remaining. But the band put in a great performance regardless.
Someone else from BlueMoon was there can't recall who.
2 years later and they had booked the Ritz and I'm thinking "you are kidding me" and it became a sold out gig!
