{"product_id":"9781526161505","title":"Mancunians : Where Do We Start, Where Do I Begin? by David Scott","description":"In the late 1990s, Manchester was a city in upheaval. The devastation of the IRA bomb and the closure of the notorious Ha?ienda nightclub were seismic events that rocked the city's confidence at a time when identikit bands were flooding its clubs and bars, fuelled on anthemic guitar rock and swagger. Stereotypes were everywhere, while the spirit of Manchester was silently suffocating.   Mancunians: Where do we start, where do I begin? is the story of those who didn't fit the typecast: the musicians of colour, the football fans alienated by rampant commercialism, frustrated public figures, optimistic developers and ambitious artists.   Through a mixture of memoir and interviews with well-known Mancunians such as Guy Garvey, Tunde Babalola, Sylvia Tella, Badly Drawn Boy and Stan Chow, David Scott portrays the city at the turn of the century in a way never seen before. -- .\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56302975648117,"sku":"9781526161505","price":16.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781526161505.jpg?v=1762793558","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9781526161505","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
