Martin Moscropmfrom ACR lived a few houses down from us and I believe Martin Hannett and / or Rob Gretton lived on my current road. The Bee Gees went to the school on my road and lived nearby.
You can also bump into the odd Stone Rose, 808stater, Dove, Charlatan, Elbower and Damon Gough. Bez knocked around locally for a while too, but that's really music-related.....
I had to deny entrance to a charity event to a member of First Aid Kit because they wanted to bring a dog in (her boyfriend - who lived close-by was performing) and racist Mozzer lived on the other side of our park, when Johny Marr knocked on his front door.
No, I don't live in Liverpool.....
Crispy Ambulance were great! I’ve got their LP somewhere. Must dig it out…
Which street was that @andrew? I grew up in Duesbery Street and my mum, known colloquially to the local kids as 'SuperGran', had some hilarious conversations with Roland Gift.
Indeed, The Plateau Phase has some gems on it. Great that HMHB referenced them.
We will have been in many of the same pubs and gig venues!Pauline's Gifts! Reminds me of happy days living in flats off Prinny Ave and Springbank: Grafton, de Grey, Dover and Albany Streets, playing to huge crowds (as many as 30 people sometimes) in the Adelphi and getting most of my nutrition from dry roasted peanuts and Tim Taylors Landlord in the Duke of Wellington. Dub nights at the Welly were great; chucking out time at most clubs involved fights on the pavement but there, you'd see people queueing up to stroke a cat and overheard munchie driven conversations, "Nah, come back to ours, I've got bread, we can make toast...".
Just stuck it on now, it is still great!

Some great street art happening down Clumber Street https://twitter.com/tracey_thorn/status/1416855386024448000?s=21In Hull, that's a certainty!
Oh, that's wonderful, so good to see Paul Jackson in there, lovely bloke, but Jim, the sound man is missing.

Yes! Jacko is an utter legend round hereOh, that's wonderful, so good to see Paul Jackson in there, lovely bloke, but Jim, the sound man is missing. (Jim, I can't hear myself - Jim hears this at every soundcheck and shrugs disinterestedly).
You probably live about 2 doors down from me! Ex-neighbours include Mike Pickering on Rybank Road, Ian Brown on Newport Road and Bez on Upper Chorlton Road.
Mr Scruff and Guy Garvey still live in these streets too..
Bill Oddie, who isn’t a musician.
Is Guy Garvey still in these parts?
