The Manc: "The top 30 Manchester bands of all time, officially ranked by The Manc Audio" (December 23, 2022)
The top 30 Manchester bands of all time, officially ranked by The Manc Audio
"Here is our totally biased list of the top 30 Manchester bands of all time."
2. The Smiths.
"What a band. From Morrissey’s lyrics, to Marr’s guitar, the sound they created was not only loved by Mancs but the world. Whether it’s the highs of Bigmouth Strikes Again or the lows of I Know It’s Over, The Smiths have a song and an album for everyone. Our top track is Heaven Knows I’m Miserable Now."

Mike Joyce FB/IG: "Win my original ‘Strangeways, Here We Come’ Silver Disc" (September 1, 2022)
From Facebook:
Win my original ‘Strangeways, Here We Come’ Silver Disc
Hi everyone, big news! It’s 35 years since The Smiths’ final album ‘Strangeways, Here We Come’ was released and I’m giving you the chance to own a special piece of the group’s history.
I’m raffling my original silver disc that was presented to me when the album reached 60,000 sales. Rather than auctioning it to a wealthy collector I wanted to raffle it to give every Smiths fan a chance of owning it.
All the proceeds generated will go to raise money for Back on Track, a Manchester charity that I’m a patron of. I’ve worked with Back on Track on several projects over the last few years and I’ve seen for myself the difference they make. They’re currently supporting so many people struggling with the cost of living crisis and I wanted to do what I could to help.
To enter all you have to do is buy a £5 raffle ticket via Back on Track’s Just Giving page...
