Description
Factory Fairy-Tales: My Years at the Hacienda and Beyond Ged Duffy's life in Manchester music is one of missed opportunities. He could have been part of New Order, or seen his band Stockholm Monsters take off with the Happy Mondays. Instead, he recounts his years as a stagehand at The Russell Club and later The Hacienda, touring with New Order and turning down the chance to tour America with them. Duffy's story is one of avoiding fame and fortune in the colony of artists and misfits that was Hulme. With a photographic memory for gigs and dates, he recalls the highs and lows of life on the fringes of Manchester's music scene. This is a witty and insightful account of a bygone era, full of characters and stories from the city's most iconic venues. A fascinating behind-the-scenes look at one of the most influential periods in British music history, Factory Fairy-Tales offers a unique perspective on the Hacienda and its inhabitants.
