I’ve just been looking after my mam, so I’ve not really been thinking about it. It didn’t really hit me until I went on stage in Cardiff last night and he wasn’t there. I designed a cheerful and inspirational colour scheme to match the brand characteristics and a main logo (playing with the idea of a happy face). To support the main logo, there are also a series of submarks / secondary logos that can be used to add character to the brand.On 1 January 2023, we launched a brand new 30-second TV ad, available to view on terrestrial and satellite TV. You might have already seen us during the ad breaks for The Great British Bake Off, No Time to Die, or the debut of Stonehouse… However, this will be a truly multi-channel campaign, mixing out-of-home and digital assets.

When Booth led off into 1999 B-side All Good Boys, it might’ve squandered the audience’s attention, had its meditation on father-son nurturing not been so poleaxingly poignant, nor duly been followed by Madchester-era megahit Come Home, the whole field erupting in joy at its doodling synth line and shuffling beat. Little Hulton's finest Shaun said: "We’re really looking forward to the Happy Mondays’ first headline tour for five years. We’ll be playing all the hits for everyone, so it’s going to be a lot of fun. See you there!"The band signed to Creation Management in 2015.

In place of the kind of creative unity required to navigate such headwinds, the Happy Mondays had mutiny in the ranks. Reflecting on the group’s choice of producers, in Twisting My Melon, Shaun Ryder complained that “the rest of the band didn’t get it; they didn’t understand that our fans liked our sound. They thought that if we could incorporate Chris and Tina’s sound into the Mondays’ sound, then all the Talking Heads fans would get into it and we would break into a much bigger market. But it doesn’t work like that.” Last year saw a lot of uncertainty for the jobs market. After a jobs boom following the fallout from the global pandemic, the UK is now heading toward a recession.

There were no catchy grooves… it had absolutely no character. Yes Please! wasn’t the Mondays. It could have been anyone.” I met my fiance, Firouzeh Razavi, nearly nine years ago. It was her 30th birthday and she was having a drink with her friends, while I was out with my mate. We walked into this bar, our eyes met across the table, and that was it. I’m not normally romantic, but I tried to make it special when I proposed to her. I set up a posh picnic basket and got her family and my family to wait on the top of this mountain near where we live. Me and Firouzeh walked up the mountain and she noticed a big letter D that I’d put out in tribute to her younger brother who’d died. Then she saw her dad. And her sisters and everyone else, and I proposed. It was great. And it’s easier if everyone is there so you don’t have to tell them all separately afterwards.
