Michael Barrymore has offered Manchester United £1 million pounds to play as their striker because he wants 10 pricks behind him and 67,000 assholes jumping up and down.

The Stone Roses were an influential English rock band from Manchester, active during the late 1980s through to the mid 1990s. Their 1989 eponymous debut album quickly achieved the status of a classic in the UK, and topped NME's list of the Greatest Albums of All Time. They released a second album, Second Coming, in 1994 and split in 1996.

Laurent Garnier (born February 1, 1966) is a French techno music producer and DJ. A former staffer at the embassy in London, Frenchman Laurent Garnier began DJ-ing in Manchester during the late '80s and became by the following decade one of the best all-around DJs in the world, able to span classic deep house and Detroit techno, the harder side of acid/trance and surprisingly jazzy tracks as well. He added production work to his schedule in the early '90s, and recorded several brilliant LPs with a similar penchant for diversity.

Garnier returned to the production realm with Unreasonable Behaviour, released in early 2000, which features one of Garnier's best known songs, "The Man with the Red Face". Garnier released an EP in 2002 and his latest full length album, The Cloud Making Machine, in 2005. His most recent album is Retrospective, a best-of which collects both his original work and remixes, including some vinyl-only or previously-unreleased tracks.

I've seen these live a couple of times in Manchester and they're incredible. If you get a chance, listen to the album - for a debut it's phenomenal.

From Wikipedia...

'Clap Your Hands Say Yeah is an American indie rock group based in Brooklyn, New York and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, comprised of Alec Ounsworth, Lee Sargent, Robbie Guertin, Tyler Sargent, and Sean Greenhalgh. Their debut album, Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, was self-released in 2005.
They received praise from Rolling Stone as the 'Hot New Band' for 2005.'

Not sure exactly how many of us are on here, but I can vouch for NickyP (like me, in Huddersfield) and DeputyDog (Manchester). I'm not entirely sure, but I think: Ex-Jedi, Gaffa & GorillaMan are Brits (or in the UK too).
