Manchester Apollo brings back memories. Aged 16, Simon and John Squire used to come to the backstage area to help push the boxes in for The Clash.
The Apollo backstage is next to the Apsley Cottage. Si recalls actor Ray Winstone, in his unmistakable Cockney voice, dragging him off for a pint! Good times
Si and John Squire ended up dropping out of college to follow The Clash around on tour! The ultimate rock ‘n’ roll education!
Season One of The X Generation brings you key moments in Simon Wolstencroft’s musical career that have influenced some of the greatest Manchester bands of all time.
