Manchester Unspun
How a city got high on music.
Author Andy Spinoza in conversation with tour guide and writer Jonathan Schofield
At the end of the 1970s, Manchester seemed to be sliding into the dustbin of history.
Today the city is an international destination for culture and sport, and one of the fastest-growing urban regions in Europe.
Andy’s book Manchester Unspun is a first-hand account of what happened in between.
The Guardian calls it “cooly analytical, exceptionally well-informed and hugely entertaining.”
Signed copies of the book will be available to buy on the night.
