well I remember going to the Marquee and 100 club and hearing the roses etc,so
it did get down here and that was in 87 onwards..yes I was 15 but I used to
also go to a club called Klubfoot which had some other weird bands/music like
the Meteors so the Marquee and 100 club were also on the circuit..

Ok, obviously yes I heard them. I was referring to the band orientated
music
from Manchester (Mondays, Roses etc..) that seemed to have very strong
ties
to the scene up there. From a personal London/South Coast perspective
this
music/vibe never really reached me and seemed more a part of the 'indie'
scene than the parties I was going to. As I said, I just dont remember
hearing it played down here. I guess the point of me even bringing this
up
is out of curiosity because I know this music played an important part
in
the scene in and around Manchester and was just wondering just how much
of a
regional thing it was, because I never hooked onto it.
