Inside Pete McKee's new exhibition...

Cartoonist Pete McKee launched his new exhibition – 'Great Moments In Manchester Music' – last week touring Odd, Odder and Oddest bars around the city until January 14. In his inimitable style, the Sheffield artist has depicted defining moments in Manchester music, from when Morrissey met Johnny Marr to Peter Hook buying his first bass guitar, alongside such icons as Mark E Smith, Shaun Ryder, Oasis and Ian Curtis. See a selection of his brilliant works, plus commentary from McKee himself, below. Check out his official website HERE


When Johnny Met Steven - The stuff of legend… “I had a pair of fifties Levis on with proper American bike boots and a Johnson’s sleeveless jacket and a Johnson’s shirt and a real proper old American flying men’s cap and a super quiff which was faultless… Amazingly, he let me in.” Johnny Marr, taken from The North Will Rise Again by John Robb.

    Check out the Gigwise link. As well as the Marr met Morrissey print there is also a great one of Moz, Ian Brown, Noel Gallagher and Guy Garvey sharing a cuppa tea...(pic no.3) Note how all the others drink from plain ole mugs and cups whereas our man has a floral china cup and saucer, -such class!
    Great artist by the way.
