Oh no! Where’s Tony Wilson gone from the Hacienda timeline? Manchester mystery.

Looking forward to touring Angel Meadow on Sunday. There’s one ticket left if you fancy joining me. We end the tour of what was once of England’s worst slums, now fabulous green space & des res, with a delish Sunday roast at the Marble Arch. Be great to see you. www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/angel-mead...

Hellooooo blueskyers.
What an honour to meet @akse_p19 putting the finishing touches to his Andy Rourke artwork on the Wheatsheaf pub in #NQ #Manchester #TheSmiths. My group of French teens were thrilled too. #streetart #guidedtour #walkingtour #tourguide #streetarttour #manchestertour #showmemcr
