You Can Drum but You Can't Hide
Manchester 80s and 90s bands - Book - by Simon Wolstencroft
(2017)
Of all the iconic musicians and scenes that emanate from Manchester,
Simon Wolstencroft is the one who joins up the dots. He learnt his chops
playing with Johnny Marr and Andy Rourke, but turned down The Smiths
because he didn't like the cut of Morrissey's jib. He parted ways with
his schoolmates Ian Brown and John Squire before The Patrol became The
Stone Roses. He spent eleven glorious years in The Fall and when that
journey inevitably hit the buffers he hooked up with his old mate Ian
Brown and went on to collaborate with a string of his musical city's
luminaries.
You Can Drum But You Can't Hide hands you an access
all areas pass to the back alleys and living rooms of the musical
mavericks synonymous with the city of Manchester. As rival camps retreat
to their own grudges, Wolstencroft is the humble bee who crosses
borders and pollinates. With humour and candour, 'Funky' Si's memoir
recounts a life of drumming, parties, drugs, friendship and a love of
making music.
