Smiths' glory days - Manchester Evening News

Adam Moss
9/ 4/2007

THE famous photo of Manchester pop legends The Smiths outside Salford Lads Club has been recreated - to launch a DVD documentary about the all-conquering 1980s group.

The film - called Inside The Smiths - has been produced and directed by Stephen Petricco, owner of Manchester's Fab Café and TV21 bars.

The release of the rockumentary, which follows bass player Andy Rourke and drummer Mike Joyce across England, Europe and America and features in depth interviews with the pair - could be out as soon as the end of this month.

Light-hearted

Stephen Petricco says: "The film goes inside the band but in a light-hearted way. I have been mates with Andy and Mike for years now.

"This was never a conscious effort to make a documentary - it is just something that happened."

The new Lads Club line-up features Andy Rourke and Mike Joyce plus producer Stephen Petricco, original photographer Stephen Wright, and presenter Mark Standley.

"It's both funny and sad at the same time," said Stephen.

Apart from Mike who is top and gave me his autograph at Logan airport last year. He sat behind me on the plane and had to put up with a boorish American middle-aged fellow bigging up his son who is in the Blue Man Group and has a house in Vegas. Whoop-de-doo. When he asked what Mike did he just replied 'I'm a musician'. Didn't say he was in the best British group since The Beatles, just showed great humility in letting the oafish American laud his bald, mute, questionably talented son for 7 hours.
And his vs Cancer gigs are worthy and great and will become a staple on the Manchester / UK gig scene for many a year to come.
It is written.

        I really don't like the look of this.
        And I think then when it's Salford Lads
        Club there'd be Lads, oh but gee whiz
        what I really mean to say is:- "Come on,
        it's not 1986 anymore. Might be time
        to move onto something new."......
        But each to his own, I suppose.....

      My first trip to Manchester to seek out Smiths landmarks was in 1985. My friend and I had enjoyed the Mick Muddles book and set out out one rainy March day to find Morrissey . I still have wonderful b/w photographs of Whalley Range Hulme and The Caribean Club( factory Club as was) . We drew the line at stopping by Myras old house (SHAME) . I have had many trips since then the last been in 1997 when as a skinhead in nail varnish really turned heads outside the lads club. Happy days Happys Days . I am still a regular visitor to Manchester ( albeit in different circumstances) and it runs through my veins like blood.

      Your writing is not making much sense to anybody. The style seems strangely familiar though.
