Arrow R.I.P. Tony Wilson

Tony Wilson, the legendary music journalist and producer, has passed away last Friday night, he was 57.

Tony was the driving force behind the "Madchester" scene, that brought us groups like The Stone Roses, Happy Mondays, M People, Joy Division and New Order.

The former Cambridge student established Factory Records in 1978. He also was the man behind the famous Hacienda club.

Tony, thx for the Music!

Yes... R.I.P Tony. You certainly put my home city of Manchester on the musical map.

Yes he will be much missed here in Manchester that's for sure. BTW, why is this thread in this section?
