Inspiral Carpets were a key part of the late 1980s and early 1990s Manchester indie scene, creating a distinctive sound marked by Farfisa organ riffs and concise songwriting.

Their albums and singles, including This Is How It Feels, Saturn 5 and She Comes In The Fall, captured working class life and youthful restlessness.

As part of the Madchester movement, they helped shape the identity of British indie music, influencing later bands and proving regional scenes could achieve national and lasting cultural impact across generations of listeners and musicians alike today.

Tickets are available from 10am on Friday May 15 at https://fatso.ma/ffhfp
