Mr Manchester and the Factory Girl: The Story of Tony and Lindsay Wilson

Product Information

I met Tony in the early 1990s, and we started going out together. He took me to the New Music Seminar music business conference in New York in 1991, which was a real eye-opener. I was as captivated by the city as by the conference. Look at how Liverpool grew. Michael Heseltine put a bunch of Londoners into the city and gave them money to redevelop the city. So the local entrepreneurs believed and trusted that they wouldn’t be throwing good money after bad. Wilson put The Sex Pistols on TV, as well as The Jam, The Clash and Siouxie and The Banshees, although his booking of Iggy Pop ultimately led to the show’s third series being canned after the American punk singer swore so much on air that TV bosses pulled the plug. It is a chance to tell a modern story about modern Britain in a modern way, something that is absurdly rare.

Wilson was married twice, first to Lindsay Reade and then to Hilary, with whom he had a son, Oliver, and a daughter, Isabel. In 1990 he started a relationship with Yvette Livesey, a former Miss England and Miss UK, who was his girlfriend until his death in 2007.

But for our ideas to work in these towns, we needed to get people to start believing in where they lived. Although we took In The City to Dublin, Glasgow, Liverpool and New York, it was neverthe same, because Mancunians have something about them that is very open and unique.

And then, to wind people up even more, Anthony H Wilson. "I never liked Tony. I was always Anthony to my mum, at university. I just wanted to be Anthony again." In the book, there’s an interview with Lindsay Reade, Wilson’s first wife, who felt that Factory Records should have shut down right after Joy Division singer Ian Curtis’ suicide in 1980. And in the movie 24 Hour Party People, Wilson is portrayed as somewhat insenstive and indifferent over the death of Curtis.

My reporting on the case actually began in 1993, as Thatcher was in the midst of a mercy application to the federal government. Then city editor Al Rosseker asked me to write a 10-year anniversary piece akin to, “Where were you when JFK was shot?” I spoke to those on the frontlines of this story, asking them to recall when they learned of Wilson’s death.

For many who have lived in this province a certain amount of time, that single name is all that’s needed to remember the so-called “trial of the century” — in the words of Thatcher’s lawyer — a crime fuelled by wealth, power, politics, and hubris. They have also done a tremendous job with Deansgate Square; the towers they’ve built are fabulous. We are definitely seeing the Manhattanisation of Manchester going on, partlybecause the city has no height restrictions. It’s fabulous because it hopefully means that people can stay in the centre of town, but it still needs some thought. TONY Wilson's partner today spoke of her `honour' at spending so much of her life with an 'extraordinary' man. I’d argue that he was a great businessman actually - he was astute but had high standards. He wanted to give people a chance.”The film features Human Traffic's John Simm, The Royle Family's Ralf Little, Human Remains's Rob Brydon, Snatch's Lenny James, A Room for Romeo Brass's Paddy Considine, and comedians Peter Kay, Keith Allen, John Thompson, and Dave Gorman.
