The much-loved indie star and DJ's entertaining folk-history of life in the heyday of the city of music.
The much-loved indie star and DJ’s entertaining folk-history of life in the heyday of the city of music.
THE MANCHESTER CHRONICLES is an exhilarating and highly personal folk-telling of the Manchester music scene, as seen through the eyes and ears (and hair) of one of the city's favorite sons, Clint Boon from the iconic Inspiral Carpets. From early days of punk in the mid-1970s through the crucible of the 1980s indie and psychedelic scenes, the explosion of Madchester, Rave and then Brit Pop in the 1990s, this is an intimately told adventure of an extraordinary musical renaissance.
A born storyteller, Clint Boon pieces together a collage of often hilarious stories to give us a unique take on the city's coming of age alongside his own. At art school, rehearsal studios and sweaty gigs, we meet the movers and shakers of Manchester, often well before they were famous, as they came together to forge their identities and put the city on the map.
Be it a near-fatal car crash, or suffering the ignominy of being on Top of The Pops one week and signing on the dole the next - while your former roadie, Noel, makes pop history - Clint entertainingly captures the mayhem of music, success and the city's extraordinary musical family.
Encountering bands like Buzzcocks, Joy Division, The Fall, New Order, the Smiths, James, the Stone Roses, the Happy Mondays, Elbow, Inspiral Carpets and Oasis, raconteur Clint tells the Manchester legend not as an exhaustive history, but as what it felt like to be there at the time, taking the trip of a lifetime.
