Friday the 29th May a Morrissey biography in Danish is released. It is called “Alle Dage Er Som Soendag” (“Every Day Is Like Sunday” in Danish) and is written by journalist and Mozza-fan Jesper Soerensen.

It contains three main parts: A portrait of the man and the things that inspired him – Dean, Wilde, Bowie, Kitchen Sink dramas etc. Several interviews with several fans – known and unknown – who tell about their passion and love for The Smiths and Morrissey. And it ends with a deep analysis of all 250 songs and reflections on them.

Link to the publisher where you can also buy the book.

''Morrissey's Manchester'' 2nd edition is published on 21st May

The guide to all places Morrissey & The Smiths in Manchester has been reprinted and updated after the initial print of 10,000 copies has almost sold out.

Not only has the tour itself changed since 2002, Manchester as a city has undergone whole scale changes too and these are reflected in this updated edition.

Also included in the new edition, is a forward by Mark Taylor, editor of the fanzine 'Smiths Indeed', detailing the day Morrissey and the look-a-likes filmed the video for 'Stop Me......'.

The book, priced £8.95 will be exclusively on sale for £5 at Empire Exchange, 1 Newton Street, Manchester (on the corner of Piccadilly and Newton Street, (next to the Max film developing shop) from 21st May and also outside the Manchester Apollo gigs as well as at the Star & Garter, Ruby Lounge, on the MozBus, Salford Lads Club and The Brickhouse.

You can also order online direct from myself.
Price including p&p is:
£7 in the UK
£7.50 in Europe
£8.00 rest of the world
paypal [email protected]. Let me know if you want it signed!

After that weekend, the book will be available via usual sources and outlets.

Due to a mad, late rush of enquiries, an extra MozBus will take to the streets of Manchester / Salford & Trafford on Saturday 23rd May.
The bus will depart around 3.30pm (when the 1st trip returns!) from outside the Star & Garter pub on Fairfield Street.

However, you will need to be at the S&G at 12.15pm to book your place (unless you book in advance via paypal). The reason for this is we have to have at least 30 bookings to do the second trip.

Please paypal [email protected] to book in advance £11 per person
