Live from Manchester's Lesser Free Trade Hall

Mark Radcliffe and Stuart Maconie host a special show live from the site of Manchester's Lesser Free Trade Hall as part of 成人快手 Music Day.

As part of 成人快手 Music Day, Mark Radcliffe & Stuart Maconie host a special show live from the site of Manchester's Lesser Free Trade Hall, celebrating the 40th anniversary of the now infamous Sex Pistols gig there.

Often described as one of the most influential gigs of all time, the Sex Pistols appearance at The Lesser Free Trade Hall on 4th June 1976 was attended by just a handful of people. But the few that were there went on to form some of UK's most celebrated bands including Joy Division, The Smiths, Buzzcocks and The Fall.

With special guests and live music, Mark & Stuart explore the musical and cultural ripple effects of this legendary gig.

Among those joining Mark & Stuart at the site of the Lesser Free Trade Hall venue are former Sex Pistol Glen Matlock, punk journalist and commentator Jon Savage and there'll be live music from Manchester band PINS. Mark & Stuart will also hear from Buzzcocks' Pete Shelley and Howard Devoto who arranged the Pistols' Lesser Free Trade Hall gig after seeing the band play in London.
