I currently reside in Leigh and yes Pete Shelley was born in Leigh, and I'm sure he will be mortified about the clobber being worn in that part of the world, the regular Leyther usually dons a pair of Lonsdale trainers and a pair of grey joggers and of course a Firetrap hoodie..... and the place smells of fucking weed!

 

Aye, Bill & Ben were hugely popular in Leigh.

Fucking brilliant tonight 

Absolutely fucking brilliant 

Madness incorporated “Ever Fallen In Love” into “It Must Be Love” in their set with a massive video pic of Pete Shelley and a big acapella version of Ever Fallen In Love

Wish I could put in on here but not that clever 

They sorted that quickly. A top effort.

Glad it went down well.

My Dad claims that 'ever fallen in love' was written about him :)

Is your dad called Francis? If so, it was.

As for the ex-George Tomlinson contingent on here, most will have heard English teacher Mr. Ashby regale his times as bassist in the early days of the Buzzcocks when at BIHE.

No - and I've always taken it as an apocryphal tale. They were in bands at around the same time in Bolton back in the day. My Dad tells tales of sharing guitar tips with PS who apparently took a bit of a shine to my Father.

Madness at the V Festival down here in Perth was possibly the best gig I have ever been to. Fucking brilliant.
