Factory Fairy-tales : Joy Division, New Order, Factory Records, The Hacienda & Me
Manchester Music Scene/Factory Records - Book - by Ged Duffy
(2021)
“Stockholm Monsters were the first band to come from Burnage. Oasis were the second” - Noel Gallagher
"My
favourite band that, at the time, I had the least understanding of how
important they could be, was probably Stockholm Monsters... they were
the scally band three, four years before the Mondays, before the Roses” -
Tony Wilson
Ged Duffy might be the unluckiest man in
Manchester music. He could have managed New Order; he could have been
the bass player in The Cult; he could have seen his band, Stockholm
Monsters, take the mantle of the Happy Mondays and become the breakout
scally-band on the coolest record label in the world... but of course
none of this happened.
Told with wit and a photographic memory for
gigs and dates, Ged recalls his years as a stagehand at the Russell Club
and later The Hacienda, touring with New Order and then turning down
the chance to tour America with them, leaving Stockholm Monsters when
they were about to hit it big, life in the colony of artists, oddballs
and dropouts in Hulme and how he managed to successfully avoid fame and
fortune.
