Sights and sounds - The Observer, July 24, 2005

Excerpt:

Morrissey's Manchester The Smiths only played 10 gigs in their home city of Manchester, but the venues are all featured in Morrissey's Manchester, a guidebook and map that let you create your own tour. Locations include Granada Studios, featured on the sleeve of Viva Hate, where the young Morrissey sent his rejected scripts for Coronation Street, the famous Hacienda nightclub, Manchester Poly (now Manchester Metropolitan) students union and Hulme, the area where Morrissey grew up. The book is published by Empire for £5.99, and author Phill Gatenby offers guided tours of Smiths sites. Contact [email protected] or go to www.morrisseys-manchester.com.
