Already immortalised in the 2002 film 24 Hour Party People, the loving yet volatile relationship between the infamous impresario Tony Wilson and his first wife, Lindsay Reade, sits at the heart of the vast cultural changes that took place within Manchester and its evolving music scene during the past three decades. Writing with searing honesty, Reade unveils a classic tale of sex, drugs and rock n roll and also of love, passion, friction, failure and deceit. Mr Manchester and the Factory Girl is the story of a legend, delivered from the inside and unique to the author.
