Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. What was The Mondays debut album called?

That's a hell of a long one (and a classic). Look out for the film about the Hacienda coming out, called 24 Hour Party People.

Answer: John Cale

He's a Welshman as well, little wizard on bass guitar so he was. I wonder if he was out of rehab?

Marching on stage that night Shaun Ryder addressed the crowd with the notion 'Where's Me Pickled Herrings?'

4. In the killer anthem 'Step On' who does Shaun Ryder invite us to call after we've twisted his melons?
