I came here through my love of Andrew Weatherall a couple of days ago. I’ve not been able to stop listening and crying since, nor indeed have I wanted to. As a Glaswegian, whose love of his city is unbounded, I am nevertheless overwhelmed with vicarious pride and gratitude for all the music that has come out of the truly great city of Manchester. A litany of legends, all wrapped up by the maestro. Thank you so much
R.I.P Andrew Weatherall, say hi to Mr Anthony H Wilson when you get there, 2 legends of music, will never be replaced, forever remembered as pioneers of a generation 🙏❤
How in Gods name can there be 8 DISLIKES for this? It's an ode to a man who gave Britain some of it's greatest music. It's also a nod to one of the greatest cities on earth, Manchester, you've so much to answer for, but we all still love you like we love our family.
I am in Mancunia, right now, visiting. I fuckin' love this place, so much. Everything about it, screams the epitome of cool, without even trying. Much like the videos, that accompany the beautiful words, itself...❤
I was born in Spain, but first time I went to Manchester I fell in love. Now, every year I try to visit the city and I feel it like my birth place. Thanks to all mancunians who also contribute to this, nice people there.
As a Canadian who started his 20s in the 1980s, this song represents so much of what was good music-wise at that time. The stretch from Manchester to a prairie city called Winnipeg shows that music travels faster that life itself and has more impact than a smart bomb. Factory Record’s offerings still adorn my vinyl collection as they are time capsules of great memories and emotion. Absolutely feel this piece. Thank you.
Here Here ! I’m from Regina, I also started my 20’s in the 80’s Big fan of John Cooper Clarke and Joy Division. Travelled to Vancouver with a friend to see John Cooper Clarke last weekend and that was my first exposure to Mike Garry. Bloody magical 🤗
This man help develop my taste in music that’s hasn’t change I am now nearly 60 thank you 🙏 Mr Tony Wilson and the debt people my age owe you and the northwest Sir Antony H Wilson
Sat in the sunshine at Reading in 98 and had a pint with him, linen suit was in top shape and he still was as giddy about New Order and music as he ever was. As a lad from Sheffield he made Manchester seem like the only place to be and he was right! Thanks Tony and thanks Manchester.
I cant stop listening to this. So sad, love New Order, Andrew Weatherhall, his influence on Primal Scream, then the man himself......there was a big tribute to St Anthony on the local radio radio here in Dublin, Ireland last night....
I never met him, but saw him on Granada TV regularly and grew up listening to the bands he worked with. One can't deny that he was someone who could make things happen and his influence lives on.
grew up in Blackpool was 14/15 when the whole Madchester thing kicked off... would catch the train to Manchester ... eastern bloc, afflex, etc... then a few years later 80 state raves and the Hacienda .... it was, for about 5-6 years the most amazing city in the world ... Wilson was the driving force... Hacienda, New Order, Happy Mondays, Stone Roses, Baggy.... Oldham street,.. thanks Tony!
Fantastic, as a Manchester lad, think this is ace AHW championed Manchester to the world, long may his memory last in this Great City & the world beyond ....

@Big Chap aww come on bigun, the divvies played their last gig here, new order played 2 of their finest gigs ever in 1983 and 86 at the tower ballroom, , can we settle on bristol??? lol,
Lucky enough to have been at Heaton park for the Factory tribute to Martin Hamnett (cities in the park)...feel sorry for todays generation..they will never know..thank you Anthony H Wilson ❤️
Only just come across this, both A.W.s form a huge part of my record collection. I've been watching random stuff on TH-cam in the past fortnight and the majority of videos have been selections from Britains Got Talent and things like that, it got me thinking did Tony Wilson ever have anything to do with talents shows or programmes seeking singers and musicians? He had faith in alot of musicians that others wouldn't even bother with... I can't imagine the early 90's without Shaun Ryder and Bez - recently my Mum was able to explain to her friends who Shaun and Bez were when they appeared on Gogglebox, because she took an interest in my preferences of music when I was 13. Weatherall came to my attention with Primal Scream's Loaded, he some how captured the Zietgeist of that era in that one track. Smokebelch does not get the credit it fully deserves, I've heard it in Clubs in Ibiza, in films, virtually everywhere! It is timeless and still sounds as fresh today as the first time I heard it way back then...

Brings a tear every time I hear this ……. Someone needs to honour the legend of Andrew weatherall
R.I.P Andrew Weatherall, say hi to Mr Anthony H Wilson when you get there, 2 legends of music, will never be replaced, forever remembered as pioneers of a generation 🙏❤
2 musical geniuses together now
Much love, to all the greats that have sadly left us, through no fault of their own...❤
If you think Andy's dead you certainly were not at his funeral.
How in Gods name can there be 8 DISLIKES for this? It's an ode to a man who gave Britain some of it's greatest music. It's also a nod to one of the greatest cities on earth, Manchester, you've so much to answer for, but we all still love you like we love our family.
Twats from the south.
the scousers
It gives them a hard on to sit there in their bedroom and wallow in their snivelling belief that they're edgy and the purest type of individual.
I am in Mancunia, right now, visiting.
I fuckin' love this place, so much.
Everything about it, screams the epitome of cool, without even trying.
Much like the videos, that accompany the beautiful words, itself...❤
They’re millennials.
I was born in Spain, but first time I went to Manchester I fell in love. Now, every year I try to visit the city and I feel it like my birth place. Thanks to all mancunians who also contribute to this, nice people there.
You could write a book on literally every subject and word mentioned in this poem. Total genius, and Tony, you’ll never be forgotten. Hero
And indeed the remixer.
As a Canadian who started his 20s in the 1980s, this song represents so much of what was good music-wise at that time.

A legendary dj and a legendary mancunian in total harmony. may they most rest in peace.
this gives me eargasms.... r.i.p Anthony H Wilson , sorely missed 😢
R. I. P ANDY WEATHERALL 🙏💔
Tony took Manchester into a new dimension. He was a one of a kind. A generation will never realise how much he did
I cant stop listening to this. So sad, love New Order, Andrew Weatherhall, his influence on Primal Scream, then the man himself......there was a big tribute to St Anthony on the local radio radio here in Dublin, Ireland last night....
Heard this on Clint Boons set for Madchester stream after 4 years - needs to be played every day - brilliant track
I play this all the time makes me happy/sad,sooo many emotions all at once !
That's exactly what I think; even more so, seeing as I'm in Mancunia...❤
I never met him, but saw him on Granada TV regularly and grew up listening to the bands he worked with. One can't deny that he was someone who could make things happen and his influence lives on.
Makes me cry every time I listen to it, such a beautiful 😻 track R.I.P 💚🖤

beautiful version, with Peter's bass. Immortal like Anthony himself. Great.
It wasn't Hooky who did the Bass on the recording it was a Bassist called Andy Baxter
Fantastic, as a Manchester lad, think this is ace AHW championed Manchester to the world, long may his memory last in this Great City & the world beyond ....
St Anthony St Anthony, Please come round
Because something is lost that cannot be found
Talk to me of Albion of Anderton and of art
Of the Arndale, Alan Turing, Acid House, Alexandra Park
Of Bez the Buzzcocks the bouncing bombs
And the beautiful Busby Babes
Of Curtis, Cancer Christies Catholicism
Crack and Kurt Cobain
Talk to me of all these things and there's one thing that's for certain
That I'll see the face and I'll hear the voice of Anthony H Wilson
Dance Design Durutti Devoto, Development of a dirty Northern City
De La Salle, Dignity, How in the end you hated all the pity
Elvis Engels and ecstasy, And a girl called Emmeline
And the hours that I spent watching you on me black and white TV
From So It Goes To Sunday Roast, You're enchanting, You're endearing, You're extreme
I saw you with elephants hosing down some dwarves on black and white TV
Factory fame financial muck ups, Poetic Form and The Fall
The 4th of June 1976 at the lesser Free Trade hall
Oh talk to me, Oh talk to me
Of Gretton God and Granada
And of Hooky and of Hannett, And how the fighting just got harder
Hamlet Ibsen The IRA, Jesus Mary and Keith Joseph
Joy Division, Judaism, The importance of the moment
Of Liam, London, Lust for Life, Of Louie Louie and Linneas Banks
Of Manchester, Music, Marijuana, Majesty, And Karl Marx
Of night Clubs new bands New Order Oppenheimer, Orchesteral Manoeuvres in the Dark
And all those topical Late night intellectual chat shows like The other side of midnight and After Dark
Come and talk to me of all these things and there's one thing that's for certain
That I'll see the face and I'll hear the voice of Anthony H Wilson
That I'll see the face and I'll hear the voice of Anthony H Wilson
Talk to me of Peterloo of praxis police and pride
Talk to me of Pontius Pilot of Power, Corruption and lies
Of the Queens and the queers and the quiet ones all shy and self effacing
Just like Morrissey but not Mark E Smith or Shaun Ryder when he's been free basing
Johnny Rotten, Regeneration, Richard and Judy, And Vini Reilly
That stupid yellow circular face now known simply as a smiley
Righteous red rebellious ridiculous, down Rochdale and Regent road
You see I want to hear the sound of the Salford soft boy moan
Tony Talk to me in the sacristy of a school called De La Salle
Of the poets preachers philosophers Tony, talk to me I'm feeling sad
Of Saville, Shaw the Smiths Stone Roses, That smile so smug the swagger
I want to hear it from the mouth of an honest Northern Blagger
Tony talk to me of the Sex Pistols, Of Substance, The streets the sounds
The sniffed and snorted stolen swigged multi million pounds
Then talk to me of the Greatest ever Man United team
Greg, Burns, Jones, Edwards, Robson and Roy Keane
Was it Best, Law, Charlton, Stiles and Eric Cantona
All the unknown Pleasures of the doubles and the Trebles, Incantations from the stars, Tony
Talk to me half pissed, Talk to me half stoned
Talk to me as a boy when I'm sat in my Fallowfield council home
Talk to me on the telly, Then talk to me on the radio
Talk to me at the opening of some arty farty show
Talk to me of vision virgin victory and violence
But don't leave me sat in the Hidden Gem listening to the buzz of the silence
And talk to me of Warsaw, Drug wars trendy flats within warehouses
But when it comes to footy Tony - don't talk to me about the scousers
And all the Xray Spex, And all the X Ray tests, And X Ray therapies
And all the X wife chats on XFM, The best youth worker I ever dreamed
You're me Yin and Yang, You're me master plan of an independent Northern scene
Talk to me of Yoric, Yonkers, Youth club banter, Yeats - come and talk to me
Wilson Talk to Me, Yeats Talk to Me
Zeitgeist talk to me, Tony Talk to Me
Wilson talk to me, Zeitgeist talk to me
Tony Talk to Me, Tony Talk to Me, Come on Talk to me
Wilson talk to me
Won't you talk to me, Come on talk to me
...... "that's probably enough now!"
Beautiful.
Just beautiful.
I'm in tears, cos it gets to me, everytime.
❤
