Madchester - The Sound of the North (part 6 of 8)

Granada Television's 'Celebration: Madchester - The Sound of the North'

At the height of the so-called 'Madchester' scene or 'baggy' if you will, this captured everything in all its glory. For a start Northside featured in a major item. Footage shows the band in interview, rehearsal, live in concert and even at work (well, the one band member who worked); Central Station Design in their studio creating something out of a pane of glass and loads of ephemera; Happy Mondays in Amsterdam - including Derek Ryder soundchecking for his son!; also includes 808 State and MC Tunes; Celebration was a Granada Television arts strand and undoubtedly Anthony H Wilson (So It Goes, The Other Side of Midnight, Remote Control, Content) must have had some influence in the making of a programme featuring Northside from his own record label.

this is how it feels to be city, this is how it feels to small, this is how it feels when your team wins nothing at all, nothing at all

can someone just confirm what Rob Dickens says around 3.20? "You can always tell who the Manchester band is on TOTP they're the most _____ acts on the show" is he saying sour? .... and whats the very last sentence he mumbles? "they dont or they do look like they are enjoying themsleves?" he mumbles a bit and cant understand... Using this as a quote in a thesis, cheers in advance
