SUMMARY:50th anniversary of the Pistols at the Lesser Free Trade Hall
DESCRIPTION:This tour: Thursday 4 June 2026\, 6pm.\n50th Anniversary of the Pistols at the Lesser Free Trade Hall\nMeet: Outside HOME\, 2 Tony Wilson Place.\nBooking: Please press here to book with Eventbrite.\n\nHere’s the set list\n* Tony Wilson’s pad.\n* The Boardwalk\, where Oasis made their debut.\n* The Hacienda.\n* Elbow’s “hole in my neighbourhood”.\n* The basement record shop where Morrissey had a job – yes! – for about five minutes\, resulting in a depression that inspired those great lines from “Heaven Knows I’m Miserable Now”.\n* The Ritz\, where the first Smiths gig took place.\n* The Hidden Gem church where Tony Wilson’s funeral took place.\n* The Free Trade Hall\, where this day in 1976 the Sex Pistols invented the modern Manchester music scene. \nWhat does it sound like?\nForget Memphis and Merseybeat\, Manchester is music city\, a venue to rank alongside New Orleans or Notting Hill\, a factory of superior song-making and stirring soundscapes courtesy of Joy Division\, the Fall\, New Order\, Buzzcocks\, Happy Mondays\, John Cooper Clarke\, the Stone Roses\, 808 State and\, of course\, the Smiths\, all spinning around the legend of the Hacienda\, the world’s hippest nightclub\, chicer than the Copacabana\, sexier than Studio 54\, cooler than the Cavern or Cream. \nAt the centre of the city’s beat was Factory Records\, a record label to rival Motown and Chess with a business model that could be compared only to British Leyland or the South Sea Bubble. But it’s not about Mammon or the man\, it’s about the music\, the songs\, and what songs! – “Dead Souls”\, “William\, It was Really Nothing”\, “Rowche Rumble”\, “Time Goes By So Slow” – the list\, like the road\, goes on forever. (Jon the Postman’s versions of “Louie Louie” certainly did). \n \n“Manchester\, so much to answer for\,” as the man sang. \n \n
