Stars of the Manchester music scene are coming to East Lancashire next week.

Bez and Rowetta of the Happy Mondays, and Clint Boon of Inspiral Carpets, will be performing at St Mary’s Chambers in Rossendale on Friday May 12.

The trio are some of the most iconic faces of one of the most notable eras in music to ever hit the British isles.

Bez needs no introduction, having orchestrated crowds across the world with his unique and relentless energy, from his varied appearances on TV to travelling the world with one of the most famous bands to ever emerge from the UK, the Happy Mondays. Bez forged a route to the heart of the nation simply by being himself, an Energizer bunny indie icon.

Rowetta’s signature vocals helped The Happy Mondays transcend the indie and dance genres to provide the sound of the good times for millions throughout the 90s and beyond. More recently, collaborations with Gorillaz, Swedish House Mafia and many more have further established Rowetta’s incredible status.

Also featuring is Clint Boon, who is no stranger to the venue having DJ’d before on many occasions.

Clint joined the Inspiral Carpets in 1986 and the band were highly regarded as being one of the top three Manchester bands of that era, achieving notable chart success with three top ten albums and three top 20 singles.

Clint has also been a permanent fixture on the Manchester airwaves since 2004, on stations such as BBC Radio Manchester, The Revolution, XFM Manchester and Radio X. He is currently presenting the weekday drive time show on XS Manchester.

A St Mary’s Chambers spokesperson said: “We are delighted to bring three huge names of Manchester Music to the venue for a Madchester night of epic proportions featuring top tunes and party vibes all night long.

“Bez is a household name in British pop culture and has energy and charisma by the bucket full.

“Bez with his son Arlo will be getting everyone up dancing with a special high energy DJ Set. 

“Rowetta, like Bez is also an integral part of the Happy Mondays and has toured all over the world with the band since 1990 to the present day.

“She also featured in the first ever series of the  X – Factor in 2004 finishing in the top four and will be performing a sensational live set.

“Clint Boon is a superb DJ and is widely respected across the UK and further and will also be spinning his favourite indie anthems to keep the dancefloor rocking.”

Doors for the show open at 7pm and the show is due to start shortly after.

The venue also has four VIP Booths remaining for the show, which are very popular and are situated on a private balcony over-looking the stage.
