Notes

"In June and July 1976 the Sex Pistols played two historic shows at the Lesser Free Trade Hall in Manchester. In September their first television appearance was booked by Tony Wilson, the presenter of So It Goes on Granada TV.

Punk and the Pistols inspired several new Manchester groups, including Buzzcocks, Magazine and Joy Division. Soon the Electric Circus was established as the city's main punk venue in 1977, while Wilson continued to promote new wave music on Granada. Manchester also spawned two independent record labels, New Hormones and Rabid.

After the Electric Circus closed its doors in October 1977, Tony Wilson and friend Alan Erasmus devised a club of their own. The Factory opened in May 1978 with a series of shows featuring Joy Division, The Durutti Column and Cabaret Voltaire. Six months later these bands would form the basis of a radical new label, Factory Records.
