Product Information

Peter Hook describes how in the weeks afterwards Salford gangsters 'ran riot' in other venues around town, having lost their Hacienda playground. That all changed one night in the early 1970s at Pips nightclub in Manchester - it was THE place to see and be seen, the Hacienda of its time. Further facilitating shopping on the go was the wave of smartphones and mobile apps. Consumers can now shop no matter where they are and whenever they want.

This insightful quote illuminates the profound connection between adversity, resilience, and personal growth. Let’s delve into its depths to unravel its meaning and significance.

Examples of individuals who have gained strength from surviving madness include Nelson Mandela, who spent 27 years in prison fighting against apartheid, and Oprah Winfrey, who overcame a difficult childhood to become one of the most successful media personalities in the world. These individuals demonstrate the power of resilience and grit in overcoming difficult challenges and emerging stronger on the other side. Conclusion Days after the machine gun was pulled on a bouncer, the club's late, great founder, Tony Wilson, held a press conference on the dancefloor. They were out to rob dealers - described by Peter Hook as 'middle class unversity-educated dealers from Stoke' making up to five grand a night - and they wanted protection money from venues. In 1989, the same year the indie-dance stylings of 'Madchester' first became a nationwide phenomenon, Claire Leighton, 16, from Staffordshire, collapsed at the Hacienda after suffering an adverse reaction to ecstasy. Many others didn't die, but burnt themselves out, chasing the euphoria of the first high and never finding it.

Doyle and Massey got to know each well when they were both serving jail sentences at Strangeways prison. Finally, surviving madness can help us to develop greater empathy and compassion for others. When we go through difficult experiences, we gain a greater appreciation for the struggles that others face. This can help us to be more understanding and supportive of others, which can in turn strengthen our relationships and sense of community.
