"Although it didn't originate there, Manchester was transformed by Punk Rock in a more thorough and long-lasting way than anywhere else in the world. In 1976 it was a post-industrial city once renowned as a behemoth of international trade and a centre for world class arts and entertainment that was struggling to find a new role for itself. Yet events in that year would help lay the groundwork for the city's renaissance. Here Gareth Ashton concentrates on the 18 months or so that the Punk boom lasted, tracing its roots among teenagers in the David Bowie and Roxy Music fan clubs of a few years earlier before examining the arrival of the Sex Pistols in the city to play a series of incendiary gigs during 1976 and the subsequent shockwaves that opened up fresh possibilities for a new generation." |
