I don’t know if you’ve seen, or ever heard of, the movie “24 Hour Party People.” It’s a look back at the Factory Records/Manchester scene, through the eyes of Tony Wilson and the bands Joy Division/New Order and Happy Mondays. The music alone is worth it, but the view into the Madchester scene is quite revealing. It’s not a documentary (Steve Coogan plays Wilson in the film), but serves as one. I think you’d like it.
I have not, but you've piqued my interest. I'll have to give it a look. The music from the Madchester era has been one of the best discoveries I've made through this Substack project!
Thanks for reading, and for the pizza! Much appreciated! 🙏🏼
