Daughter was in the queue at WHP last night. Woman in front of her was generally giving it large and going on about knowing “the headliner”. She asked daughter who she was looking forward to seeing. Daughter said Kerri Chandler. “She’s great isn’t she” came the reply.

In St Anne’s Square eating my lunch & listening to a brass quartet. Johnny Marr appeared and stopped for a listen too. Then he went to the cash point just to draw money out to give them. He is a nice man.

30 years ago today I played at the Hacienda for the first time. I had no clue what I was doing. I even thought DJs didn’t need to take headphones because the club provided them.

@jackrepilac @lukeunabomber It’s not though is it. Our taxes pay for all manner of things we don’t personally use, but we pay for them because most of us believe in the value of the common good. I watch hardly any BBC but am happy to pay 43p a week to not sacrifice yet more of our culture to the market.
