“I know with hindsight that the gigs title "Stuff the Superstars" was a bit ironic with Joy Division about to go stratospheric, The Distractions having just been signed to Island Records, and we all know about the ugly little singer from the Frantic Elevators!
It was an amazing gig, bringing together a lot of the best talent at the time in Manchester.
If I remember rightly The Liggers were just a scratch together band from some of the others on the bill. There was also The Glass Animals featuring Pip Nichols from The Distractions.”

“I am a DJ at 94.4FM Salford City Radio and presented a show all about this gig a year or two back, have a listen here

“SD, you were right, Burns did play with Elti Fits for a while. I managed them and remember him well!”
