Manchester Must Dance: Mike Pickering joins the Rockonteurs
About this episode
This week on the Rockonteurs podcast, we welcome artist, DJ, A&R executive and the man that put the ‘M’ in M People - Mike Pickering to the podcast.
Mike talks to Gary and Guy about a life in music from seeing the Beatles aged just 8, to the early days of the Manchester music scene, the Hacienda, Factory Records and then starting M People.
This episode is a great companion to his new book which is out now called ‘Manchester Must Dance’ - which is getting rave reviews…if you pardon the pun.
