MANCHESTERS NEW LIVE VENUE & INDIE CLUB AGENTS GUIDE & BOOKING INFO 20 years since the birth of Madchester, the building that started it and ultimately destroyed it... FAC251 - Head Office of Factory Communications Ltd... Built by Tony Wilson. Designed by Ben Kelly. Paid for by NewOrder Broken by The Happy Mondays... A NEW PROJECT FROM PETER HOOK, BEN KELLY & FUNKTION ONE. FACTORY COMMUNICATIONS LTD 1978 - 1992 January 24th 1978 two men talked in a room about how they would transform their neighbourhood into a City of imagination and about how they would be written into history. A year later 1979, and the first Factory release, A Factory Sample, appeared featuring Joy Division, The Durutti Column, John Dowie and Cabaret Voltaire. Further releases and certain experiences and events would follow. The two men failed, but they succeeded... 10yrs later 1989 FACTORY, its club the HAÇIENDA, its bar DRY201 and its bands, led by NewOrder & The Happy Mondays are at the epicentre of MADCHESTER focusing Manchester as the music capital of the World.. So much of what FACTORY acheived has been destroyed yet its influence on this grey rainy City is indelible. In 2010 music again needs a platform, a stage to perform a space, a community... For some time Manchester has been lacking a high delivery mid size venue. Our aim is to plug that void – a New Live Venue & Indie club – to nurture new breed talent. Technologically the most perfect sound & tech spec of any venue of its size. Built by promoters, bands and DJs for promoters bands & DJs. A NEW PROJECT FROM PETER HOOK, BEN KELLY & FUNKTION ONE Co-Owned by NewOrders PETER HOOK & TOKYO INDUSTRIES (the operators of the DIGITAL & TOKYO brands). Redesigned by BEN KELLY, the original designer of the Factory HQ, HAÇIENDA, DRY201 and Malcolm McLaren & Vivienne Westwoods flagship Sex Pistol store SEX in the Punk 70s. Sound designed & commissioned personally by Tony Andrews at FUNKTION ONE. www.FACTORYmanchester.com GROUND FLOOR In the Original Factory HQ scheme this area was designed as the bulk vinyl & CD warehouse and distribution centre. Back then bands toured to SELL RECORDS... Now they do downloads to SELL TOURS...

When Strawberry Studios closed down the staff were busy clearing out the building. There were at least 20,000 copy masters from various bands and the artistes or their agents. They were contacted as to whether they wished to buy the tapes from the Strawberry library because they were clearing out. Mostly the artistes already had their own copies and said Strawberry should dispose of them. Some asked for the copy masters and these were handed over. The remaining copy masters were consigned to the skips. A colleague David Drennan was assigned the task of contacting as many of the clients as possible about their tapes. In the case of Factory Records, David Drennan remembers that they only asked for The Happy Mondays tapes and did not want any others. (see copy email ‘Dave Drennan’) Later I discovered that Factory Records had parted company with Joy Division/New Order. I felt that the tapes of Martin Hannett's work i.e. the ones he produced should not be destroyed. That is why I removed them from the skip and rescued them from landfill. When Warners were threatening court action I contacted Nick Turnbull (see copy email ‘Nick Turnbull’) who had been the owner of Strawberry Studios and who closed it down.

Abstract There is a dark mythology surrounding the post-punk band Joy Division that tends to foreground the personal history of lead singer Ian Curtis. However, when evaluating the construction of Joy Division’s public image, the contributions of several other important figures must be addressed. This thesis shifts focus onto the peripheral figures who played key roles in the construction and perpetuation of Joy Division’s image. The roles of graphic designer Peter Saville, of television presenter and Factory Records founder Tony Wilson, and of photographers Kevin Cummins and Anton Corbijn will stand as examples in this discussion of cultural intermediaries and collaborators in popular music.
  • The Factory, Manchester

    The Factory, Manchester

    THE FACTORY, MANCHESTER The Factory is where the art of the future will be made. Designed by leading international architectural practice OMA, The Factory will combine digital capability, hyper-flexibility and wide open space, encouraging artists to collaborate in new ways, and imagine the previously unimagined. It will be a new kind of large-scale venue that combines the extraordinary creative vision of Manchester International Festival (MIF) with the partnerships, production capacity and technical sophistication to present innovative contemporary work year-round as a genuine cultural counterweight to London. It is scheduled to open in the second half of 2019. The Factory will be a building capable of making and presenting the widest range of art forms and culture plus a rich variety of technologies: film, TV, media, VR, live relays, and the connections between all of these – all under one roof. With a total floor space in excess of 15,000 square meters, high-spec tech throughout, and very flexible seating options, The Factory will be a space large enough and adaptable enough to allow more than one new work of significant scale to be shown and/or created at the same time, accommodating combined audiences of up to 7000. It will be able to operate as an 1800 seat theatre space as well as a 5,000 capacity warehouse for immersive, flexible use - with the option for these elements to be used together, or separately, with advanced acoustic separation. It will be a laboratory as much as a showcase, a training ground as well as a destination. Artists and companies from across the globe, as well as from Manchester, will see it as the place where they can explore and realise dream projects that might never come to fruition elsewhere.

But who would have guessed two years ago what a changed world the artists making work for our 2021 Festival would be working in?” “I am delighted to be revealing the projects that we will be presenting from 1-18 July this year – a truly international programme of work made in the heat of the past year and a vibrant response to our times.

It represents an intensive study, interrupted by World Wars I and II and now since my retirement from the Army, it has been full time. In my first book there were three points of dispair, all of which have now been resolved. (I) The name of the vessel in which Andrew Hannay came to America. (2) Locating the de­ scendants of the first son James and (3) The names of Andrew's forbears. It contained a record of Andrew Hannay and his de­ scendants, and information on the various branches in Scotland as found in the publications of the "Scottish Records Society", "Whose Who", "Burk's" and other authorities such as could be located in various libraries. Also brief records of several families of the name that we could not at that time identify. Since then there have been published two books on the family.

  • How Joy Division Came to Sound Like Manchester: Myth and Ways of Listening in the Neoliberal City

    How Joy Division Came to Sound Like Manchester: Myth and Ways of Listening in the Neoliberal City

    Journal of Popular Music Studies, Volume 25, Issue 1, Pages 56–76 How Joy Division Came to Sound Like Manchester: Myth and Ways of Listening in the Neoliberal City Leonard Nevarez Vassar College Manchester, England, is among the most well-known cities today for the creation and celebration of popular music, thanks in no small part to the group Joy Division. Among the first bands to be associated with a postpunk aesthetic, Joy Division eschewed punk’syouthful rage and unrelenting din for an expansive, anthemic sound distinguished by its dynamic scope, machinic pulses, and by singer Ian Curtis’ssonorous baritone and existential lyrics. As the first significant band to sustain a career in Manchester, thus bypassing the music industry headquartered in London, Joy Division is also recognized as pioneering the DIY tradition that has famously characterized Manchester’s musical economy over the last four decades. The group didn’t achieve this alone; the role of Manchester label Factory Records is well documented, as, increasingly, is the foundation laid by the city’s networks of musicians, scene participants, and cultural institutions (see Crossley; Botta).´ Yet these local facts don’t quite explain the contemporary resonance of Joy Division’s Manchester roots for music fans and city boosters today. Perhaps more than any other Mancunian band, Joy Division are claimed to sound like Manchester, at least the Manchester of a certain era. That is, the group did not just originate from the late 1970s Manchester of deindustrialization, carceral housing estates, Thatcherism, and punk’s youthful refusal; nor do they simply illustrate a recurring Mancunian ethos of creative pluck and insouciant disregard for London’s cultural hegemony (Haslam, Manchester, England).

    S1:E5 “Peter Saville – OUTPUT – Gutta cavat lapidem” vai alla prima parte Playlist per OUTPUT|Saville – parte seconda: Gutta cavat lapidem La necessità di cambiare le carte in tavola nel mondo del rock, da parte di artisti che volevano imporre un nuovo linguaggio creativo, lo hanno fatto con costanza e determinazione, come una goccia che scava la “roccia”.(Valerio Michetti) La Factory di Wilson e Saville risponde all’urgenza di trovare “spiriti affini che potessero capire e reagire” [Post Punk: 1978-1984, Simon Reynolds] Le scelte grafiche permetteranno alla Factory e ai gruppi che rappresentano di fare da confine con l’era post punk, figli di un’eleganza austera, spezzano la prospettiva romantico pre punk e lo stereotipo new wave. Costruiscono il profilo visuale della loro vocazione neo modernista, hanno un catalogo irragionevole e sballato, pieno di idee fasulle e di progetti mai realizzati benedetti da dio Duchamp: Fac 8 era una clessidra mestruale ideata e mai prodotta da Linder Sterling; Fac 99 era il conto del dentista di Robert Gretton, codirettore della Factory. “Per Wilson, questo genere di trovate rientrava nello spirito del situazionismo, lo spirito francese anarco-dadaista degli anni sessanta, le cui idee ammirava particolarmente” [Post Punk: 1978-1984, Simon Reynolds] È una visione dell’arte che butta giù i muri che la separano dallo scenario quotidiano che circonda l’artista, oggetti decontestualizzati prendono vita e sono protagonisti altrove, come il segnale di pericolo rubato dalla residenza universitaria, cui si ispirò per la realizzazione del manifesto della Factory, disegnato nel maggio del 1978: Fac 1, opera classico-modernista che possiamo far rientrare nella corrente dello “sleeve design”.

He has also contributed articles to Scottish Local History, Scottish Brewing Archive and other journals. He lives near Drongan with his long-suffering partner, Joy. In 1995 he was one half of the Scottish Handicap Doubles Croquet Champions. Cover design by David McClure. 1SBN 0 9527445 9 7 THE STREET NAMES OF AYR 1 INTRODUCTION Names have an important role in our lives: names of people, names of places, and names of things. In an enclosed, small community, these names remain informal, but as the community grows, and as travel and movement become commoner, then more formalised names are required, names which will prevent confusion. Formal and informal names can exist alongside one another. During the course of preparing this book, I agreed to meet some friends on the road between ‘Nick’s place’ and ‘the quarry’: that we met successfully was due to the fact that we all recognised and understood these informal place names. However, to a different cohort of people, ‘Nick’s place’ is known as ‘the doctor’s house’, while had we been arranging this rendezvous with people unfamiliar with the area, we would have had to fall back upon more formal place names, names with a wider currency, names with ‘public’ approval, whether conferred by the local authority, the Post Office or the Ordnance Survey.
