There was a feature on this in the Manchester Evening News last week (forgot to post it up
).The article said that one of the first people Robb interviewed was Morrissey - the first time he has agreed to be interviewed for this kind of publication.

Your mate sold me a ticket for £38. I gave him £40 and he did one with the change

That reminds me the new issue of 'Mojo' (or 'Uncut' ? I always mix them up) has a large piece on Mott the Hoople, and one of the contributors is Morrissey. A brief contribution recalling his first time seeing them live in '72 I think. It's only a couple of parargraphs, in a separate highlighted box. The piece was by Kriss Needs (major NYD bod) but Moz's bit is described thus ~ 'as told to John Robb'. So I'd assume this new tome is where they borrowed it from. No scanner available but I'm sure someone will at some point. It's only little but quite funny, just like me.

1972 Manchester Belle Vue? He definately saw them in 1973 at the Opera House, with Queen supporting. He mentioned this at the gig he did here a few years ago.

I've sorted you with a ticket, your mate with premium tickets, gave you a present on your birthday and in return you give me a vulgar sign
He just won't let that 2 pound drop

Apparently it was Manchester Free Trade Hall in '72, the week after 'All the young dudes' went to Number Three in the charts. Moz went wild down the front...

I was a young kid at the time. Although I did perform at the Free Trade Hall in about 1979...

Life-changing mate. Sent a review to 'Record Mirror' but they wouldn't publish. Southern swine.
John Robb Manchester book/Morrissey interview
John Robb's 'The North Will Rise Again' Manchester book has a some great Morrissey stuff in it. Things I didn't know like him hanging out with A Certain Ratio, meeting Johnny Marr before THAT famous meeting and clears up his involvement in The Nosebleeds and also a genuine warmth for Johnny Marr. there is also some great Johnny Marr stuff. Shoplift it now!
