The definitive account of the pop cult capital of the UK by Dave Haslam, one of Manchester`s top DJs & journalists. Manchester, a predominantly working-class city, away from the nation`s capital, has been at the margins of English culture for centuries. The explosion of music & creativity in Manchester can be traced back from Victorian music hall & the jazz age, to Northern Soul & rock & roll, through to acid house & Oasis. But its roots are in Manchester`s history as a melting pot of popular idealism & dissent, from the industrial revolution on, via film, theatre, comedy & TV. & for Manchester, read England & the world. Dave Haslam is uniquely placed to tell this story
