Posted October 19, 200717 yr ‘In The City’ Showcases – Acts Before They Were Famous As anybody who is living in the Manchester area or involved in the music industry will know, it is time again for the annual ‘In The City’ conference, an idea that came from the late ‘Mr. Manchester’, Tony Wilson. I do not know if anybody has been to any of the showcase concerts that have been organised for these events in the past, but if you have, I wonder which famous acts you saw at ‘I.T.C.’ in the early 1990s, before they sold large amounts of records and became the ‘premier’ acts of today.
October 19, 200717 yr Never been to one, but I'm pretty sure Oasis tore the place up in 1993...funnily enough I was just writing up a biography on them and mentioned it. I stopped the biography, as everyone should, at the point they released Be Here Now :D
October 22, 200717 yr Author Yes that is correct. In fact I think they actually were awarded a ‘best band’ of ‘In The City’ award, though I cannot remember if that was given by Tony Wilson or the press.
