Theme of the Week #5 Madchester – Rave On!
This summer both the Happy Mondays and the Stone Roses will be reforming to play reunion gigs and once again the country will be reminded of those heady days in 1989 when the tunes were baggy and the jeans even baggier! In celebration and anticipation of the gigs PYMCA thought we’d celebrate all thing Mancunian. Top One, Nice One, Get Sorted.
