About

Crosstown Concerts Presents… Black Grape - 30 Years of It's Great When You're Straight... Yeah! Supported by Dodgy Black Grape could only have been made in Manchester. The swagger, fun and cryptic humour seem hewn from a city historian AJP Taylor once described as offering an archetypally different way of English urban life to London. Both Shaun Ryder and Paul Leveridge, known as Kermit, came from edgy-but-cool parts of the city. In Shaun’s case Salford, (though I know better than to designate that side of the Irwell as Manchester in certain company) with Kermit originating Moss Side. For those unfamiliar, ‘the Moss’ lay in the shadow of Manchester City’s old stadium at Maine Road, and was one of the first multi-ethnic areas in Manchester. Written by Irvine Welsh in the Black Grape Biography. Dodgy are a rare entity nowadays as the band still boast the original line up of Nigel Clark, Mathew Priest and Andy Miller. Dodgy’s legacy as one of the standout British bands of the 1990s remains intact and have become a cherished part of British musical history.
