The Factory Opens

"Twenty Four Hour Party People" is the book for the film by the sadly missed Tony Wilson. We've hit the part where they find a run-down club in Hulme and call it The Factory, which will become the label. We see the genesis of Joy Division via Warsaw and The Durutti Column as well.

This is where it starts.

I was thinking I was doing too many posts on this blog, this is my sixth and it is only the ninth of the month, but whatever.

I am still reading "Imajica" by Clive Barker on my Kindle. This is a book I never want to end. When I finish it, I just restart it, which is good

The music is "Digital" by Joy Division

There's Only One Tony Wilson

"Twenty Four Hour Party People" the book for the film by the sadly missed Tony Wilson. This is a novelisation of the film script by Tony. I thought he had written a few books, as I have a few in by libraray, but thi sis his only book, the others I have are about him. But I think all the music I feature in this sequence will be probaly Factory Records or Tony Wilson related

Twenty Four Hour Party People - FAC 424

"Mills, Muck and Methodists. 200 Years of the Methodist Church in Lune Street, Preston" by Maureen Abson has been very interesting but finished with a list of pators and preacher of the Lune Street Church. Next up is "Twenty Four Hour Party People" the book for the film by the sadly missed Tony Wilson. I love the film, so I know revisiting the book will be great fun. I have hust read the double prologue. That's it so far.

The music is "Reach For Love" by Marcel King. Shaun Ryder's favourite Factory single which I cannot disagree with.

Ninety Nine

"Mills, Muck and Methodists. 200 Years of the Methodist Church in Lune Street, Preston" by Maureen Abson has been very interesting. We have been through two World Wars, and the effect it had on the church, and are now in the nineties, though I found that Tom Finney had done some of the renovations.

This will probaly be my penultimate post about the book, but, as I say it has been most interesting.

What The Dickens

"Mills, Muck and Methodists. 200 Years of the Methodist Church in Lune Street, Preston" by Maureen Abson is both interesting and an easy read. I am already halfway through the book. The mill owners were absolutely awful, and Preston was so bad that Dickens used it as a model for "Coketown" in "Hard Times", and after the various shootings in the name of the businessmen, Karl Marx reported on the Prestonians in a positive light

Dark Satanic Mills

"Mills, Muck and Methodists. 200 years of the Methodist Church in Lune Street, Preston" by Maureen Abson.  It is very interesting, maybe because I am a Prestonian and I visit the church that is the subject of this book for coffee and cake. I discovered Preston was the fiftieth place to be granted city status in the British Isles, and I have just gone through the founding of the Temperance Movement.

Mills, Muck And Methodists

"Notes On A Nervous Planet" by Matt Haig is now finished although I will be reading it again. It is a wonderful book and I would recommend that you get yourself a copy.

Next up is "Mills, Muck and Methodists. 200 years of the Methodist Church in Lune Street, Preston" by Maureen Abson.  I often visit the Olive Grove in the Church for coffee and toast on my visits to Preston. I bought the book as they are using it to raise money for charities but I will tell you more as I get ito it.
