? Now available: the final part of my 3-part interview with Bill Smart.
From the mid-80s Manchester clubs & fashion scene ➡️ to the launch of Barabacco Jazz Club, The Emporium, and nights at Apple Jacks & Heroes… Bill was right in the heart of it.
He also opens up about his first Haçienda trip, working TV warm-up for The Big Breakfast, and the devastating Warrington bombing of 1993 — a moment that changed his life forever.
Bill’s journey is one of reinvention, resilience, and creativity — from model ➡️ club host ➡️ fashion retailer ➡️ nurse ➡️ writer.
