This week on Stupid & Contagious, we’re joined by Clint Boon of Inspiral Carpets for a trip through more than four decades of Manchester music. Clint takes us from the punk gig that changed his life and the early days of the Inspirals to the explosion of Madchester, Top of the Pops, huge festival shows and the story of Noel Gallagher auditioning to be the band’s singer before becoming their roadie instead!
We also talk about the highs and lows after the band split, their eventual return, Clint’s life in radio and DJing, and his new book documenting Manchester, its music and his place in it, Enjoy!

Welcome to The Stupid And Contagious podcast, a podcast focused on bringing you interviews with the bands that defined a generation!
That generation grew up in the 90s with the Grebo bands (Senseless Things, PWEI, Neds Atomic Dustbin, Mega City Four, The Wonderstuff and many more) on the UK side of the pond and quickly joined by the grunge bands (Nirvana, Mudhoney, Alice In Chains, Soundgarden and many more) on the US side of the pond.
We are not limiting ourselves to these genres though, we will chart the guitar bands from all genres throughout the decade that was the 1990s.
If you are into 1990s guitar music or just a music lover in general then this is the podcast for you!
