Madchester's main ‘monkey man’, Ian Brown, is in Belfast this Sunday night, treating fans to a show containing tracks from his latest album, My Way, solo hits and, if he's feeling generous, maybe a few Stone Roses classics.
As front man of the seminal baggy-era band, Brown's charisma and distinctive vocals on tracks including Fool's Gold and She Bangs The Drums spawned many imitators, keen to ride on the coat-tails of the Mancunian Messiah.
Shortly after the release of the Stone Roses' ‘difficult' second (and final) album, Second Coming, the band's implosion put Brown on a solo path, with the highs of several Top 10 hits and a well publicised low of a prison sentence for air rage.
Tickets, priced £27 are available from Ticketmaster.
