“You forget how many great songs they have in their catalogue and as they pump them out the crowd is in rapture” (Louder Than War)
A vital component of the infamous Madchester movement, Inspiral Carpets formed in Oldham in 1980. Known for hit singles such as ‘This is How It Feels’, ‘Dragging Me Down’, ‘Two Worlds Collide’, ‘She Comes in the Fall’, ‘Joe’, ‘Saturn 5’ and many more besides, they remain much-loved not only in Manchester but across the UK.
Inspiral Carpets last took to the stage in 2015. Following the tragic loss of their close friend and drummer, Craig Gill, a year later, they went on an indefinite hiatus.
“Craig’s death had a profound effect on many people. The outpouring of love from around the world at the time gave some comfort to his family and friends as we all tried to come to terms with what had happened.”
On the reformation, the band are keen to emphasise the celebratory nature of the forthcoming live shows, giving fans a chance to sing along to their favourite hits and commemorate the life of Craig.
“We know this will be an emotional journey for a lot of people, not least Craig’s family. We hope you’ll join us as we celebrate some of the music we created, and which has brought so much joy to people over the last 34 years.”
Cool as F***!!
