What's on at the Manchester Apollo ?
New Wave band Thompson Twins were at DeVilles , Post Punk Fusion band Pig Bag were at the same venue, but what catches our eye is Iggy Pop at The Apollo- “Celebrate Independence Day with Iggy “ is the strap line. That July 1981 show was a return to the City for one of the Godfathers of Punk. He had been at the Apollo in 1977 when a Berlin era David Bowie was there playing keyboards and backing vocals. The performance was recorded for Granada TVs “So it Go’s” and you can follow that up yourselves on You Tube adding to the 9 million views that are already scored.
The venue itself -The Apollo -once a cinema from the Art Deco age was converted to a live music venue in the 1970’s. A Grade II listed building by virtue of its Art Deco design although its musical pedigree alone surely qualifies it for the listing.
Apart from Iggy Pop and Bowie, The Jam were there in 78,79 and 82. The Who and The Ramones were onstage in 1980, followed in later years by The Stone Roses, Oasis and Arctic Monkeys. The Courteeners also played their hometown at the Apollo.
The Clash also played there in 1977 and it witnessed many of their best performances in the band’s history. Manchester was a “ Clash City “ according to Joe Strummer and from The Complete Clash by Keith Topping one of those at the second of two nights in 1981, Leslie McGachan recalls “they started with this mad, slow, whispered version of Broadway. All around me you could feel the tension that was gonna kick off at any second..When they did 'Know Your Rights' it was like somebody letting off a steam-valve, the roof just came off the place. People were slam dancing like there was no tomorrow' , That was one of two nights in October 1981 from the Radio Clash Tour.
New Apollo nights of music history already being planned. Coming up this autumn you can choose from Manchester’s own Bugzy Malone and The Charlatans, but there is also Blondie, Wolf Alice, London Grammar and The National. The gig guide- that's from Manc music zine " City Fun" that ran from 77 to 84. That issue, July 81 at the time Underground was opening the first store in the city .
