Andrew Biswell speaks to writer and journalist Andy Spinoza about his new book, Manchester Unspun, a post-industrial cultural history of Anthony Burgess's hometown.
Andy Spinoza moved from London to Manchester at the age of eighteen and has remained in the city ever since. He wrote about the city’s music scene for the NME and The Face and he founded the alternative magazine City Life in 1983, which charted the city’s cultural life for over twenty years, and helped launch the careers of Mark Kermode, Jon Ronson and Melvin Burgess among others. Andy also worked as a gossip columnist for Manchester Evening News for ten years, during which time he met Anthony Burgess several times.
