John Cooper Clarke...one of Manchester's favourite sons.
Still gigging too. I saw him open for Bauhaus a few years back.
The Chicken Town vid shows the train leaving from the city centre heading towards Salford. The building on the corner @ 56 seconds is The Hacienda (an old stomping ground of mine).
Looks like typical Manchester weather too.
Not too difficult to see where bands like Joy Division and the writer of 'Dirty Old Town' got their inspiration from is it!
btw...the background band is probably Joy Division doing JCC a favour.
Dead giveaway really.
I posted this vid a few years back in some unrelated thread. Can't remember why.
Nice to see he's got one of his own now.
