Happy Mondays 😊

[Marjo]

Hi everyone! Did you have a good weekend? 

It's a start of a new week again and I think Happy Mondays is a great band to talk about today. 

Are you familiar with them? They are an English rock band originally from Salford, formed in 1980. Their music genre is a mix of indie rock, alternative dance, post punk and neo psychedelia, and they were also involved in pioneering the Madchester scene. They have so far released 3 live albums and 5 studio albums, of which Bummed (1988), Madchester Rave On (1989) and Pills 'n' Thrills and Bellyaches (1990) were the most popular.

Here's one of their music videos:

Happy Mondays will be touring the UK later this year and Priority tickets for the following gigs are available from Wednesday 20 Feb:

• 22 Nov 2019: Sheffield, O2 Academy Sheffield
• 29 Nov 2019: Cardiff, The Great Hall, Cardiff University Student's Union

Have you listened to music by Happy Mondays and which songs do you like from them? Have you ever seen them perform live?
