Tony Wilson

Does Tony Wilson still have label? and is he still involved in music after the factory closure?

[hartley]

Yes he does still have a label, it's called Red Cellars. The Music were signed to them for a bit and there was another band (can't remember name sorry) who he signed and they split up shortly afterwards. I remember hearing that he'd signed some garage outfit from Moss Side but couldn't release anything until they'd finished their GCSEs (only Tony Wilson!). He also still organises In The City in Manchester every year which is an international music convention - music industry types do lots of schmoozing and us mancs get to see loads of top unsigned bands!
