Remember being buzzing when it was announced Mani was joining The Scream. That buzz turned to intrigue about what they would sound like. Then this absolute monster landed. Jeezo, what a song, what a thunderous noise. He was something else.

Oh God. Mani… words just fail me this time, they really do. I cannot believe it. Sending all my love to his family. This is so sad. RIP mate. Love Hooky. X
Totally gutted to hear about the passing of Mani, one of my favourite bass players, playing in two bands I love, and just came across as such a sound guy, like one of your mates up there living the dream. A true working class hero.
Adored 🙌
RIP, Mani. Top musician, top Mancunian, top red.
"Since my late father departed - and he went to Wembley in 1968 - I’ve flown the flag," he told UWS last year. "I was in Barcelona in '99 and I couldn’t miss 2008, even though we were in rehearsals". We saw him everywhere.

Neil Young - Tonight’s the Night
My album of the day. Reeling from the deaths of two close friends, and laying himself bare for the world. At the top, yet on his knees; and as much a rejection of stardom as it is an expression of grief.
1975.
