The Smiths press article
Manhattan Sound - 1983

This is a review from City Fun March/April 1983. There is no review credit but at the front of the magazine it says that City Fun is miles and snailor jnr. The address is c/o New Hormones, 50 Newton Street, Manchester. I think Manhattan Sound was on Spring Gardens. The go-go dancer referred to was possibly James Maker who was later in Raymonde.

jsz says: It was their second ever gig, the first with the classic line-up (now including Andy Rourke), and the last with James Maker dancing about!philriley427 says: This was a great little club! I played drums for The Brigade, who headlined there a couple of times. On one occasion, a certain Mick Hucknall, came to watch. The club was eventually turned into a 9 space car park.keoboy says: I was at this gig with a group of girls from work. It was a cold January night, early in the week if my memory serves me well. Not many in (maybe 30/40 at most). Remember the dancer and the singer flailing his arms around. Not much room on stage(?) for anyone else. As Tony Wilson made a grand entrance one of the girls remarked that he was "that guy off the telly". When the Smiths appeared on TOTP a few weeks later we were thrilled that we had already seen them.blueskies says: I went to this club when it first opened , It was run by some Gay lads from Salford then. A top club even though I am straight. Great gay lads and I was always made welcome. I really missed it when it shut down or whatever happened. I seem to remember it being quite small and in a basement?bladesy says: The Smiths supported Foreign Press on this gig after Morrissey had asked if they could, nice lad, he even wrote.If you'd like to leave a comment, please LOG IN
