HAPPY MONDAYS And THE STONE ROSES Both On The Same Edition Of TOP OF THE POPS 34 Years Ago Today

30 November 2023

It was the Madchester era. It seemed like all great bands at the time came out of
Manchester, that buzzing city up north, the town of lots of 24 Hour Party People.

Two of the biggest bands on the scene, THE STONE ROSES and HAPPY MONDAYS performed on the same edition of the iconic BBC music show Top Of The Pops. It happened on 30 November 1989, 34 years ago.

The Stone Roses played their greatest single success, the awesome, trippy Fool’s Gold
and Happy Mondays, with surprising special guest, the late great Kirsty MacColl played Hallelujah from their Madchester Rave On EP. Time to watch some cool moves.
