- Granada Television's 'Celebration: Madchester - The Sound of the North'
At the height of the so-called 'Madchester' scene or 'baggy' if you will, this captured everything in all its glory. For a start Northside featured in a major item. Footage shows the band in interview, rehearsal, live in concert and even at work (well, the one band member who worked); Central Station Design in their studio creating something out of a pane of glass and loads of ephemera; Happy Mondays in Amsterdam - including Derek Ryder soundchecking for his son!; also includes 808 State and MC Tunes; Celebration was a Granada Television arts strand and undoubtedly Anthony H Wilson (So It Goes, The Other Side of Midnight, Remote Control, Content) must have had some influence in the making of a programme featuring Northside from his own record label.
Im from Leeds but i would say that MADCHESTER was the centre of the UNIVERSE!!!
This is the Hacienda now I know it may not look much but it is the catherdal of house music in britain - GOD I have known this line from this programme for around 20 years used to watch this over and over. Went to see Northside just after this programme was shown Shall We Take A Trip - them were the days!!!!!
Mate you're a star! Saw this when it first went out on tv in 1990 I think. Had it on video nd watched it loads then it got lost somewhere. Was hoping it'd show up on here. Awesome, cheers.
Fairplay KingHotDog and its all about taste, I appreciate.
But I think Northside firmly belong as part of the Madchester scene and the album "Chicken Rythyms" is a cult album amongst us followers.
Dermot was a good, cocky frontman who played the crowd well, I think it was at the Free Trade Hall where I saw them "back in the day" and he was top.
Can anyone remember when "Shall we take a Trip" was the theme music to Granada Soccer Night (circa 90-92), hosted by that Elton Welsby??
No other city had a Tony Wilson - this suit-wearing square, a TV insider, who just championed great bands no one else gave the first shit about
Did a lot for Manchester.
NORTHSIDE have reformed (all 4 original members) Touring in April/May 2014. Check out their Facebook and Twitter pages for more info and updates.
L O V E - I used to have this on VHS and am so pleased to have it here. x
Thank you so much for posting this i had it on video No Band since Oasis have made that impact and that was because of The Madchester scene and the hype that surrounded it so many brilliant dance places like Konspiricy, The Thunderdome, Gallery and The Hacienda all closed cos of mindless violent thugs who single handedly destroyed the scene and reduced the clubs to rubble!
inspiral carpets, class, moooooooo!
I Lived on the minners under Northside Those were the days! DJ(UNITE)MC -- UK.
Sam(I presume), thanks a million for posting this. I remember watching this as a 15 year old, desperate to get into the indie/rave scene. I soon did.
These were special days. An entire scene that seemed to exist away from media attention until it was hijacked and became 'Britpop' or whatever.
Oasis V Stone Roses? Roses 1 Gallaghers 0.
1990 14 year old living in Manchester had my first spliff first acid tab and first shag and I heard some bands formed apparently
Cheers for posting this - I had a copy of this video from back in the day - have not seen it for around 18 years!
Blimey look at Maconie!! Never seen this before - thanks so much for posting.
Stuart Maconie!
Hope this proves interesting. I found it on a video from years ago and then saw it wasn't on UA-cam. Fascinating viewing I think!

Its a name for the music scene in manchester around 88-92
'Baggy' started being used as a term around 1990 rather than 'Madchester' to incorporate the Madchester-type bands that weren't from Manchester, such as Flowered Up and The Farm. So in '89 you had the Roses, Mondays, Inspirals (Madchester) but when other bands emerged of a similar ilk from around the country, the whole scene( including the Roses and Mondays) was referred to as 'Baggy'.
Yeah Madchester came kind of later on.
bloody hell Danny Kelly less than 20 stone!
@Evemeister12 yeah the stone roseswere influenced by the pistols lol..they did listen to them..but influence..just listen to LOVE and you will see..
and also... what is the song that starts at 4.37ish during the meat factory scene?
What is that amazing song playing at 6:00?
beseeingyou6 northside - my rising star
whats the the song you can hear starting up as paul walsh out of northside is shown working? is it one of theirs?
what year was this broadcast?
@Evemeister12 you could go back further..many 60s garage punk bands..and the beatles..influenced too many to mention.
rame euy ^_^
when was this first broadcast?
please someone tell me whats the song at 5:50 PLEASE!!!
1990
does anyone know the song at 4:34?
Dry still hasn't been changed since that was filmed, I don't think the toilets have been cleaned either.
No no -- Sound of da Norf.
yup.. and it was gone about a year after they coined the term... too bad really
Is there anything better than shoegaze guitars mixed with dance music? I think not....
does anyone know what year this is from?
wilson smith around 1988 , 89
Right, point taken, but that doesn't mean that the mancunian scene was inferior or owed everything to londoners coming to manchester that resulted in the whole music scene.
As far as I know the whole rave scene ~ madchester thing stands as a proof of the town and its environment producing more than just the odd successful band.
As Cantona said:
"Behind the windows of Manchester there is an insane love of football, of celebration and of music."
Nini QB everyones got it wrong , 88 house music hit Manchester and they loved it , before that kids liked bands and being in bands , hence indie , house and indie worked hand in hand at getting everybody together has one , which was magical in Manchester between 88 and 92 , it didn't take long for gangsters too wreck a nice vibe in the city ,
Dj Parnate \o/
theres a TON of amazing talent coming out of london, or anywhere in the world, just gotta dig for it :)
Oh fork orf mayte.
4:40 song name anybody?
northside - moody places!
My Rising Star
the introductory theme tune is by the bass clarinet (just saying!- i play that!) honestly though, stone roses, happy mondays, northside, 808 state, james, inspiral carpets, charlatans... need to continue?
What’s the song at 4:38?
Moody Places
A certain Ratio
Section 25
I too was 15 when I saw this and it was a great time for music.......but shit for everything else.....Manchester then was still a dirty city centre with loads of empty warehouse(party)s......no fuckin urbis thats for sure......and Fergie nearly got the sack.
@thedizzies1 You are in fact correct. Very well done for spotting my deliberate mistake. It's refreshing to know there are people out there who still regard this issue with a great deal of importance. May I just say that the commas after "yes" and "oneself" are not entirely necessary.
Should I admire UK music or just Mancunian music?
Let's be honest, the best british bands come from Manchester: Happy Mondays, Inspiral Carpets, Stone Roses, The Charlatans, James, etc.
Probs 'Madchester' is the best music scene of the world in the last 40 years. Fuck off Grunge and rest of scenes of the world.
Long live Mancs. Respect from Mexico.
Terrible shout
Grunge was a bag-o-shyte. Madchester Rave On.
Bernard Manning!

But then again the bands that really mattered rose from Manchester.
Buzzcocks.
Joy Division~New Order.
The Smiths.
Martin Hannett.
The people at the free trade hall pistols gig fed on the pistols' energy to greater things of their own.
And yes, while the pistols were important as a statement for the youth, musically they were a bit overrated..
@thedizzies 1 I'm afraid you're wrong pal. The words you have quoted are part of one sentence, "i've" is preceeded by a comma not a full stop.
@Salfordbluemoon Jealous, don't make me laugh, i'd rather live in Bagdad...less violence. keep guessing pal.
1:28 - The sort of clothing you'd be embarrased if your Dad wore on a trip to a remote garden centre populated by pensioners. Even if you were a massive goth.
Great bands, no question. But you've missed the crucial point. Without the Pistols all that may never have happened at all or just not in the way that it did,
It was happening already, the Mancs were forced to play catch up.
Stuart Maconie was annoying even then ! Nothing seems to have changed for him in 30 years !
@glarpspooge Punctuation is very important, i've prosecuted people for less.
If you go back to my first comment on this page, the target of my ridicule was those Mancunian posters (and people in the video) who make unprovoked criticisms of London music, ignore the important fact that the explosion of Manc music owes a great deal of debt to something that came from London.
And after his seagulls phase, it's become a little hard to take Eric Cantona seriously :-p
I don't think Manc music owes that great deal to London personally.
Imho, Mancunians take their music way too seriously to be inspired by just the one band. To me the near religiousness of music appreciation there has more to do with the resulting explosion than just the pistols.
And I think that the target of much of the ridicule was the london press, not the bands per se.
Nini QB no , what they say is if you do well in music move too London with the in crowd
@Salfordbluemoon Where do you suppose this full stop should be then? being as you can't leave it alone.
ALso, why do you have to get so damn serious about your city? no sense of humour, that's your problem. Most people can recognise the good and bad in the place they live.
I have been to Manchester and it was enough to make decide never to go back.
Too scared eh? you're as good as admitting what a violent hole it is.
The irony of all these Mancs who slagged off London for being awful is that they ignore the fact that the Manc artists were influenced by the Sex Pistols...
who were from London
But the londoners had to get to Manchester to make it all "happen".
Northside were shit, apart from one song.
.....Oasis didn't even manage one song that wasn't shit!
Nice lads though, dermo was a top lad
There's no place worse than Manchester, however, two fantastic bands emerged from that shite hole - the Happy Mondays and the Inspiral Carpets. Both bands piss all over Oasis.
the best bit of this video was the pistols at the beggining and they're shit.
@Salfordbluemoon I have been to Manchester, therefore i'm qualified to make a judgement. You are correct, i forgot to mention The Smiths and the Buzzcocks. The rest were overated rubbish, and i do include the Stone Roses. James were an abomination. Where i come from is irrelevant. Maybe i was a little harsh in my criticism of the city as my visits were mainly central with the odd outer skirt excursion.
Ok Thank you :)
The song 6 minutes in is really nice and good singing. I notice the name 808 state - I never knew they were from Manchester. I had a remix of Pacific state. just found another that is good .Doman & Gooding - Pacific State - Afterlife Remix (Nocturnal Groove) . I tend to like music like this.
What is Madchester?
