when a producer
Ahh yes, the delightful Antony “Tony” Wilson. An embassidor, albeit a rather unpopular one, of my home city of Manchester. He was a driving force behind Manchester’s music scene of the 80’s/90’s and was one of the names aroudn the city’s (in)famous dance club, the Hacienda, the bastion and some say home, of the drug-rave culture. They gutted the place and turned it into modern “urban living” flats. I found it hilarous that these expensive city apartments for well-to-do inner-city career types were being advertised as owning a piece of the Hacienda history, one built on drugs, over-doses, really bad music and dancing and day-glo smilies. 😀
Should you be so interested in the antics of Mr Wilson, there was a recent film “24 hour party people” based around his life and the Manchester dance scene.
