PLUS (if we can pull this off... a star prize cardboard cut out of THE FOUR SMITHS). Raffle drawn at midnight on Saturday by... a special guest! Taking us out tonight will be DJs LOUD AND CLEAR, Manchester's finest duo. The weekend is bulging with legends who will pay a fitting tribute to the bass player that shaped the music of our lives.

[Was I ever any good]

Wow. This looks so Amazing

 

[Luxo]

Fantastic. Tempted to go.

 

[Gaylord Deepstar]

Love this. And just for once, it’s not all about His Mozjesty.

How refreshing!

 

[George V]

They probably haven't asked, but I actually think Moz would have showed up for this if he was asked to attend. Maybe he'll be in the crowd?

 

[Mayfly]

This is a such a beautiful initiative.

 

[Les Tameside]

They probably haven't asked, but I actually think Moz would have showed up for this if he was asked to attend. Maybe he'll be in the crowd?

He can’t turn up for for appointments with his own self.

 

[Young And Alive]

Mike Joyce is there, which means Morrissey won’t be.

 

[Juan Dulces]

Awesome! The ad is terrific too, featuring what looks to be a largely unseen pic of Rourke --- and he's in the car!

They do know that Andy wasn't on the cover of Hatful of Hollow, right?

For years I thought he was!

 

[gordyboy9]

well done julie,she works tirelessly with very little reward,great event which will be well attended.

 

[Juan Dulces]

For years I thought he was!

Oh for sure, the profile looks like Andy to a T.

 

[Les Tameside]

Sometime in 1999, or 2000, I arrived early for a Smiths night at The Star and Garter—and there was Andy Rourke. Sat in a corner, on his own. But not for long.

 

[Vesper Nocturne]

What’s going on??! Is John Robb method acting his best gargoyle impersonation?

Gargoyle auditioning as a hobbit escaping from the scene of a crime, if there had ever been any hobbits in Peaky Blinders. He could work for Hot Arthur!!!

I mean he must definitely be winning at being the best gargoyle auditioning as hobbit who needs to escape from the combined scene of a murder + large financial crime in 1920s Birmingham

Nailed it!

 

[Les Tameside]

I’m sure he’s a nice enough person, but the way he presents himself always rubbed me the wrong way, a bit.

He cut quite a figure, around Manchester, in his pomp

 

[Surface]

I’m sure he’s a nice enough person, but the way he presents himself always rubbed me the wrong way, a bit.

He's a lovely guy Zoom, had a great chat with him about Pete Shelley (after he passed away) in Manchester Airport.

 

[marred]

A who's who of who the hell are you?

That said I do hope it all goes well for everyone involved and attending. Andy Rourke was the man!

That’s a bit harsh, a lot of those people have links to Andy, Morrissey or the Smiths and Badly Drawn Boy had sold a lot of albums in the uk 2 of which were platinum selling.

 

[Redacted]

Anyone know John Robb? Is he amusing in person? That picture

The event looks like a very lovely gesture for Andy.
