3. Wilson founded the famous Hacienda and was one of five co–founders of Factory Records, which produced bands such as New Order and the Happy Mondays during a period in the 80s dubbed "Madchester". Born in Salford, he went to De La Salle Grammar School, Salford, and studied English at Cambridge before beginning his TV career.
4. One story had it that entire A&R departments were sent to the Rainy City and told not to come back without one of its bands (or, in the case of the Charlatans, a band that was in the Midlands but sounded "Madchester").

The city had laboured under a variety of labels, from "Madchester" in the 80s – on the back of the famous Hacienda nightclub and the indie band Happy Mondays – to "Gunchester" in the early '0s, when a spate of gangland shootings sent out messages the council prefers to forget (and a serious shooting last weekend underlines the fact that Manchester still has a darker side). Yet it has progressed to become Britain‘s most successful regional city, drawing international investors, creating thousands of new jobs and pioneering city–centre living.
