The Manchester Chronicles

‘Inspiral Carpets are true pioneers and, as a musician, DJ, music fan and a brilliant storyteller, Clint has been there to see it all first-hand. He’s part of the fabric that makes the story of Manchester, music, and beyond.’ – TIM BURGESS * The Charlatans *
‘I am so delighted that the Gentleman of Manchester Music has decided to tell us all his secrets! Clint knows it all, has done it all, and along the way has amazed us all with his loyalty, his friendship, his ‘Joie De Vivre’ and his own wonderful music. I thank God for the many, many lessons he has taught me, and to be part of his family is such an honour. Good luck mate XX’ – PETER HOOK * New Order *

‘This is the greatest rock and roll book ever written. Funny, touching and fascinating. Clint the trail blazer, facilitator and now chronicler. Is there no end to the man’s talents?’
