WITH A FOREWORD BY SHAUN RYDER

THE MANCHESTER CHRONICLES is an exhilarating and highly personal folk-telling of the Manchester music scene, as seen through the eyes and ears (and hair) of one of the city's favourite sons, Clint Boon from the iconic Inspiral Carpets. From early days of punk in the mid-1970s through the crucible of the 1980s indie and psychedelic scenes, the explosion of Madchester, Rave and then Brit Pop in the 1990s, this is an intimately told adventure of an extraordinary musical renaissance.

A born storyteller, Clint Boon pieces together a collage of often hilarious stories to give us a unique take on the city's coming of age alongside his own. At art school, rehearsal studios and sweaty gigs, we meet the movers and shakers of Manchester, often well before they were famous, as they came together to forge their identities and put the city on the map.

Be it a near-fatal tour bus crash, or suffering the ignominy of being on Top of The Pops one week and signing on the dole the next - while your former roadie, Noel, makes pop history - Clint entertainingly captures the mayhem of music, success and the city's extraordinary musical family.

Encountering bands like Buzzcocks, Joy Division, The Fall, New Order, the Smiths, James, the Stone Roses, the Happy Mondays, Elbow and Oasis, raconteur Clint tells the Manchester legend not as an exhaustive history, but as what it felt like to be there at the time, taking the trip of a lifetime.©2026 Clint Boon (P)2026 Octopus Publishing Group Limited

Reseñas de la crítica

'Inspiral Carpets are true pioneers and, as a musician, DJ, music fan and a brilliant storyteller, Clint has been there to see it all first-hand. He's part of the fabric that makes the story of Manchester, music, and beyond.' (TIM BURGESS)
'I am so delighted that the Gentleman of Manchester Music has decided to tell us all his secrets! Clint knows it all, has done it all, and along the way has amazed us all with his loyalty, his friendship, his 'Joie De Vivre' and his own wonderful music. I thank God for the many, many lessons he has taught me, and to be part of his family is such an honour. Good luck mate XX' (PETER HOOK)
'This is the greatest rock and roll book ever written. Funny, touching and fascinating. Clint the trail blazer, facilitator and now chronicler. Is there no end to the man's talents?' (GUY GARVEY)
'There isn't one other single person that's EVER existed in Greater Manchester called 'Clint'. That is a fact.' (NOEL GALLAGHER)
'Clint writes like he speaks and plays; as one who knows.' (JOHNNY MARR)
