I think the song you remember may be Winchester Cathederal. My parents live next to the man who wrote that - I've never even heard the song! Laughing

Manchester is also the source of many bands - Oasis, in particular, springs to mind. The Happy Mondays, too.


When I visited Manchester, The Happy Mondays were in their heyday. We visited a nightclub "famous" for alternative music. I say it was "famous" because my girlfriend at the time knew all about it, and it was a "must" on our list of things to do in Manchester. I don't recall its name, but it was just blocks away from the "famous" Duke of Bridgewater pub.

That's one of my favourite songs. I remember dancing to it countless times in clubs & student bars, and whenever I hear the piano intro it makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. Cheers, Ticomaya for the nostalgia!

Never mind nimh.....we're not that far (mileage wise). Try to come in 2005! I know I'm biased but I really do think it's a better place to visit than London, and the people are friendlier. People only go to London for Queeniepoos, and we've got lots of them in Manchester. :wink:
