An Audience With ... Shaun Ryder!

United Kingdom | | 03 November 2004

The former Happy Monday and his former Factory Records boss, Tony Wilson, will take the stage at London's Turnmills tonight for a live interview about their heady days of Madchester hedonism!

The pair will be live on stage from 7.30pm - 8.30pm, answering questions from the audience and having a general debate about all things music, as well as reflecting back on the Happy Mondays era, Factory Records, the Hacienda, Twenty Four Hour Party People the film, this year's Get Loaded In The Park festival, and anything else people want to know.

The one off interview session will be conducted by X-FM presenter Shaun Keaveny, before Get Loaded promoter Kav, kicks off the indie/dance/northern soul/funk/breaks soundtrack on the decks from 8.30pm. Once the club is in full swing, Tony Wilson will make his second appearance for Get Loaded as a DJ, spinning his all-time top 20 tunes.

He said: "It's like being your personal iPod for the evening, carefully selecting and programming a series of music into a particular order to make people dance".

Also on the bill will be New Order's legendary bass player Peter Hook and the Boon Army sounds of Inspiral Carpet's man Clint Boon. Both guys have become firm favourites at Get Loaded and they'll be joined by another infamous DJ/MC set from Shaun Ryder and Shaun Keaveny.

And all that for just a fiver! Or £4 with an NUS card. Get Loaded takes place at Turnmills, Clerkenwell Rd, London (tube: Farringdon) tonight from 7.30pm.
