Legends of Manchester music - in their own words
After The Stone Roses and Happy Mondays, Inspiral Carpets were the third band of the late-eighties Manchester boom. Noel Gallagher auditioned to be their singer on 21 December 1988, the night of the Lockerbie disaster. Noel recalls: "The first song we did was 'Gimme Shelter' and I shouted my fucking head off. I was winging it. They asked me to be their roadie instead." All quotes in this gallery taken from 'The North Will Rise Again: Manchester Music City 1976-1996', by John Robb. Pic: www.iantilton.net
