I’ll be honest, this gig wasn’t originally on my bingo card. My partner, on the other hand, is a massive fan of the Manchester music scene, Oasis, The Mondays, The Roses, the whole Madchester madness, so it felt like my duty to tag along. Happy wife, happy life works both ways, after all. And honestly? I’m glad I did, because the final night of the Happy Mondays’ 35 Years of Pills ’n’ Thrills and Bellyaches tour at Mandela Hall turned out to be an absolute riot in the best possible way.
