“i am gutted i never saw nico, but then im not.she is the epitome of anti-star and i loved her for it.she has become more in my life the last few years with her music,she was awesome.i did see nico in hulme, i never took interest because i used the same addresses as her,and as dubwiser says it was a different time & place then, in hulme.i think Nico- or christa paffgen, is the most unique female songwriter in my world and im glad she was trying to get well when she lived in manchester..just wanted to say that for nico.”
“the hulme carnival in 1977/8 was brilliant, hulme band NEW-FORM played on the toilet roof which was the stage and later HARLEM SPIRIT were superb.another day that will be remembered for being a mancunian!”
“I was there,me & marshy.16 yrs old and another mate to this day says he spots me on the 'so it goes' vid..sometimes the magic of the hour is beyond remembering 5mins! i know the place was heaving and just fucking pure.No posing,no room..the big doors were attacked in a clash of footwear and it made it how it was-a moment in musical hisory for the hundreds there.i wish i had seen the pistols,my reason for how i am, but fuck candlestick,the ballroom barely had ball-room like the stretford end allways was, i will never forget that night but it went by so fast ,just like punk did.Tony wilson put the best bands in the world on in a club i could see from my front door,and i thank him from the heart.But the elizabethan ballroom is a one off,though i had been more than once.what a night to be 16 in manchester.”
