Mancunians: Where do we start, where do I begin?

In the late 1990s, Manchester was a city in upheaval. The devastation of the IRA bomb and the closure of the infamous Hacienda nightclub were seismic events that rocked the city's confidence at a time when identikit bands were flooding its clubs and bars, fuelled on anthemic guitar rock and swagger. Stereotypes were everywhere, while the spirit of Manchester was silently suffocating.

Mancunians: Where do we start, where do I begin? is the authentic account of Manchester at the turn of the Millennium, told through a mixture of memoir and interviews with well-known local figures from music and sports.
