Johnny Roadhouse ran Johnny Roadhouse music shop on Oxford Road in Manchester......originally a jazz musician....by all accounts he, or rather the lads in the shop, did a lot for the local musos......lending gear out on a saturday so long as it was returned before Johnny came by the shop again on monday....Bonehead has some Fender Bass amps for sale in there if you have a spare couple o' grand..... .......it's one of the only music shops that me and the lad go into cos the gear isn't chained to the wall like in most so you can just get one down and play without some knob eyeballin you........

........a nice place to chill for an hour and simply soak up the vibe without feeling uncomfortable........

also mention Shergold, Clone Theories, Vox Phantoms etc before you know it you'll have the staff all over you, even the staff the hide and chained up, like in the goonies unlike in Dawsons where they aint got a fucking clue about anything unless its mass produced green day endorsed shite,

not enough of these music around anymore, which is a shame.

also, the onwer on music ground, manchester near central library got done for harrassing his female employees

Nice one,cheers Alf

The percussion section in the basement should be on the national curriculum. Me and Littleinoil love it down there.

I met his ex-wife on the train when I was heading to a NO gig somewhere. She was fabulous.
