Shaun Ryder and Bez talk through the Madchester era and Factory Records, followed by a high-energy Madchester DJ set.
Shaun Ryder and Bez are coming to Connexin Live on Friday 26 February 2027, and it's a bit of a double bill. The night starts with the two of them sitting down for an unfiltered conversation that works its way through the Madchester era, Factory Records and the 1990s music scene. If you know the names, you'll know the connection: Ryder was the frontman and Bez the dancer for Happy Mondays, and Ryder later led Black Grape, so they've spent a fair few decades at the centre of the very scene they'll be talking about.
Once the talking is done, the night shifts gear into a high-energy DJ set built to transport the room back to a 1990s club. That part is all about dancing and singing along to indie anthems, Madchester grooves and dancefloor fillers, so it's a night that starts with a look back and ends on the dancefloor. If you're into the era, it's a good way to get both the stories and the music in one go.
