The MozBus Rides Again! (Manchester, May 23)

I've had a few requests to run a MozBus tour during the weekend of Morrissey's Manchester gigs and having had a chat with Leslie at The Salford Lads Club, I will organise a MozBus on Saturday 23rd May at around lunch time.

The tour will include a 45 - 60 minute visit inside the club as well as stopping off at Parkers Hotel, Strangeways Prison, Morrissey's old house and the Iron Bridge on Kings Road in Stretford, The Cemetry Gates, The Holy Name Church and the Ritz as well as passing by a few other sites too and lasting around 3 - 3.5 hours.

If anyone is interested please contact me either via email - MozBus@aol.com or www.myspace.com/mancmusictour

Cost will depend on numbers - If there is enough to fill a coach then I imagine it wont be more than Ł10 each.
However..... I may try for something a bit more adventurous..... a double decker bus??? An open top double decker bus???

Either way, proceeds will go to The Salford Lads Club.

open top bus?! (Score:1)

LOL, that has to be craziest idea ever and is guaranteed to spell an absolute downpour!

Still, I admire your courage :-)

Who knows, I may even join you for old times sake...

Good luck with the project mate. SLC is a very worthy cause indeed.

Forgive my ignorance, but what is its connection with Morrissey?

Classic buses (Score:2, Interesting)

I wonder which bus type has been used before. I like the idea that Morrissey pays attention to buses - complaining some years back that buses were all the colours of the rainbow in Manchester (or something like that). And of course he arrived at Wolverhampton on a beautiful Bedford OB
as seen on the Hulmerist video.

Weel done Phil!

a ride with mr Smiths Phill G. on a bus is a
bonus if you have tickets for that gig, or are
in Manchester
