Six years ago today we lost Tony Wilson, TV presenter, Record label guru and Club manager.
Words synonymous with Tony Wilson:
- Factory Records
- Hacienda
- Madchester
- Joy Division
- New Order
- Happy Mondays
- So it goes TV series (featuring fantastic performances by Sex Pistols, The Jam, The Clash, The Buzzcocks, The Stranglers and Siouxsie and The Banshees)
Mr Manchester had a passion for music and his finger on the pulse culture and new sounds.
Will there ever be another Tony Wilson?
I wish someone would come along who is that keen on music, and knows where it's at. Tony Wilson, RIP... :P Also, I miss John Peel - there's a hoopy frood who really knew where his towel was! ;)
