Musical History
I recently sat with some very good, like minded, music loving friends. We are all extremely proud of the musical history of Manchester - having such diverse tastes ranging from Joy Division to Simply Red ( just so you know reader...I am so not a fan of the latter!!). We all enjoyed reminiscing about the first time we became aware of Manchester as a music Mecca, recalling stories of doc martins, national health specs & gladioli - when it suddenly dawned on us that of all the amazingly, talented musicians coupled with everyone else who is synonymous with the mcr music scene (Tony Wilson, Rob Gretton... et al) - there are v few women, if any women at all, who spring to mind, whilst recalling those impetuous times.
Where are these women who helped shape mcr's music scene & indeed provided the support...nee the backbone...of the men involved? (I feel at liberty to say that having managed an all male band for over a year...which is akin to having 3 children!!). I don’t believe for a second that those fundamental times were women-less!!
In today's music industry - women play a massive role on a global scale. There had to be someone breaking the barriers & paving the way for them back then…surely?
Until next time!
Much love
