Tony Wilson would have been 75 today. Here he is in 2000, talking about people who move into a vibrant, energetic city centre and then complain about the music and noise that was there before them

Still very much a hot topic in Manchester, probably even more so now - the influx of people into central areas since 2000 has been incredible in scale. Night & Day had that whole saga of course. Would be interesting to have a disclaimer for other 'local character' issues as well as noise....
I was lucky enough to meet him about a year after this before he was interviewed at the bar I worked at on Deansgate. He had zero pretension, asked me what I was doing at uni etc - a class act
This is such an interesting clip. His Liverpool prediction was spot on - best example is the famous Cream club getting flattened, for flats, some ten years ago now…
