SUMMARY:Cargo Recording Studios: 1977-1985
DESCRIPTION:Chris Connelly is coming to Manchester Central Library to discuss his exceptional new book\, ‘Cargo Recording Studios: 1977-1985’. \nThe Cargo Studios book is a history of the music recorded at the Rochdale studio. The studio opened in late 1977 and closed in early 1985. It’s where the seminal ‘Atmosphere’ by Joy Division was recorded\, as well as other influential tracks from The Fall\, Gang of Four\, The Chameleons\, Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark\, A Certain Ratio\, Echo and the Bunnymen\, and many more. It was also where David Gedge of the Wedding Present\, Lisa Stansfield and Roland Gift first recorded. \nA true labour of love\, Chris Connelly spent twelve years researching the 360-page hard-back book which features over a thousand pictures and music memorabilia. With over 900 people interviewed\, it also includes essays by artists who recorded there\, who expand upon the times\, hustling to get gigs\, the politics of the day\, and venues played. \nLaunching his book in Manchester City Centre for the first time\, Chris Connelly will be appearing at the Henry Watson Music Library on Thursday 12 March @ 6pm. \nHe will be in conversation with author and musician Mark Hoyle (of the band Dub Sex)\, who is among the musicians to have recorded at Cargo Studios. Hoyle released his own book ‘Swerve – Dub Sex & Other Stories’ in 2024. \nWhile you’re here…we have a broad selection of books on music which are free to borrow if you have a library card. You can browse our music collection online here or in the Henry Watson Music Library at this event\, and find out how to join the library free here or on the day (just bring along some ID with your home address on to complete sign up and pick up your new library card). \nBook tickets here or click on ‘Book Now’ below and ‘pay-what-you can’. All donations go to Manchester Libraries to support future activities.
