FACTORY LEGEND ALIVE AND WELL IN BRANAHUIE

Newvalley Musical Express, Sunday 26 November 2007

 

A sharp eyed couch buntata from Melbost yesterday revealed the true fate of

mysterious Manchester post-punk production legend M*rt*n H*nn*tt (J*y D*vis*ion, N*w Ord*r etc etc), commonly believed to have expired in the

early 1990s.

 

While watching a DVD of "24 Hour Party People" recently, John Murdo

"Glaoic" Macamadan of The Ocrach, 967 Melbost, was struck by the resemblance between Deceased Maverick Factory Records Production Genius H*nn*tt and one of his neighbours - who coincidentally happens to be another legendary music industry figure.

 

John Murdo (93) immediately contacted the "Express" with his suspicions. Our investigative team nearly got round to phoning up somebody in W**dy's to see what was going on, but eventually couldn't be a***ed.

 

"These fleekeen Factory Records people are forever turning up here", said a music biz insider in the Crit last night. That T*ny W*lson recently pretended to be dead as well but everybody knows he's chust Guireans manager Coinneach putting on a funny accent. And remember the time the H*ppy M*ndays came to the island to get off the drugs, spent £8M recording at Tong Studios, got hooked on ceann cropaig and held the master tapes to ransom until the label paid their tab at Cailean Neillie's?
