Bass player to tell the story behind legendary 90s band

The bass player of iconic 90s indie rockers The Stone Roses is appearing in Dudley at an intimate show to tell all about life in the band.

Gary ‘Mani’ Mounfield, who also played with Primal Scream from 1997 to 2012, is at Dudley Town Hall on November 20 next year.

Tickets are on sale now for the solo show, titled The Stone Roses, Primal Scream, and Me – An Intimate Evening With Gary ‘Mani’ Mounfield.

Rupert Knowlden, venues manager for Dudley Borough Halls, said: “The Stone Roses are one of the most iconic bands of the past 35 years. Paving the way for Oasis, The Verve, and Madchester, their self-titled debut album is regarded as one of the greatest of all time.

“Their 1990 Spike Island gig was watched by 27,000 and described as 'Madchester's Woodstock', spawning a movie. Mani was there for every gig and also played with Primal Scream from 1997 to 2012, before rejoining The 'Roses for their stadium-sized comeback.

“In this intimate show, Mani will reflect on the band who redefined the British music scene. He'll remember Fools Gold, Wembley Stadium, Ally Pally, court cases, bucket hats, Adidas, Screamadelica, and the Second Coming.”

Mani added: “This is the perfect time in my life to look back and reflect on the highs and lows, and the mad times of my career. I can’t wait to see you all and share the best of times.”
