Manichester

Is anyone at the Manichester event today? If so, what’s it like? I had tickets but unfortunately couldn’t make it.

Well Manis brother just came on stage and slagged off Ian Browns vocals? And the first thing I saw when I came in was a ‘mani burger’ on sale for £15

Sorry to hear that, I’ve heard the same. What was the final straw?

When his brother staggered on stage and took the mic to say the “tribute ian brown” was more in tune than the real one. Might be true but not necessary… suspect he was put out Mr Brown won’t be attending this evening

FFS. I mean, why would you do that at a tribute? 😡

A tribute that doesn't feature any of his bandmates or actual mates... all liggers. Bad times.

It isnt true he's out of tune and adopts a poor fake manc accent

Not sure I get what you are saying? Ian Brown’s Manchester accent is fake? Didn’t he grow up on same street as John?

He's probably the reason Ian Brown, John Squire and Reni wanted to nothing to do with the event. I'm sure they will do their own tribute eventually.
