    On this week’s Line Noise, Ben Cardew spoke to Mancunian extraordinaire Mike Pickering, a man whose musical history makes ordinary people quake. They spoke about Quando Quango, Factory Records (where Mike signed James), being the resident DJ at the Haçienda in the glory years of rave, making the first British house record (perhaps), forming M People and winning the Mercury Prize, A&Ring Calvin Harris and - most of all - Mike’s new book Manchester Must Dance: A Life of Music, Madness and Moving On Up. is he the best connected man in Manchester? Quite possibly. Line Noise comes to you with the support of Cupra.
