At a press conference today at Soho Hotel in Richmond Mews, London at 3pm the announcement the world has been waiting for finally came: The Stone Roses will reform with the original 4 band members: Ian Brown, John Squire, Reni and Mani.
There will be new material and two gigs at Heaton Park in Manchester next summer. Ticket sales start on Friday at 0900. Good luck.
Yesterday’s Radcliffe and Maconie show featured The Trojan Records Story box-set compiler, Laurence Cane-Honeysett. He discusses the new boxed set, the songs he chose and his love of Trojan Records, ska and reggae. Three songs played from the new History of Trojan Records boxed set are:
Harry J. All Stars — Liquidator
Winston Samuels — Lick It Back
Bob & Marcia — Take Me
Looks like it will be a great purchase even at £29.99 and will be on many Christmas lists this year. With a window sticker and a 50 page book it will allow another generation to get up to speed with Trojan music.
Yes it was August bank holiday and the press find a reason to tro
t out mod culture cliches again. Thank you Monday’s Sun Newspaper.
Interesting to hear from old mods around at the time but why is the focus always on a 5 minute scrap from decades ago? Can’t we hear more about the music or the clothes? Good to see some nice scooters and read that youths are into the scene. Not sure if the Kaiser Chiefs are really behind this though :-/
