| ARTICLES RELATED TO Madchester | | | |  Madchester: Encyclopedia II - History of Manchester - Twentieth century reds and bluesIn the early 20th century Manchester's economy diversified into engineering chemical and electrical industries. The stimulus of the Ship Canal saw the establishment of Trafford Park, the world's first industrial park, in 1910 and the arrival of the Ford Motor Company and Westinghouse Electric Corporation from the USA. The influence is still visible in Westinghouse Road and the grid layout of numbered streets and avenues.
In the Second World War Manchester played a key role as an industrial manufacturing city, including the Avro aircraft factory. As a consequence of its war effor ...

| | | | | Madchester: Encyclopedia II - History of Manchester - Growth of the textile trade By the sixteenth century, the wool trade had made Manchester a flourishing market town. The parish church, now the cathedral, was completed in 1500-1510. The town's growth was given further impetus in 1620 with the start of fustian weaving.
However, the start of the English Civil War in 1642 heralded Manchester's entry into the world of politics and the town's staunch defence of the Parliamentarian faction, led by John Rosworm, was to have repercussions in centuries to come. The town was besieged by Royalist ...

Despite their growing profile, tensions within the band mounted as they began working on the second album. Anderson and Butler fought constantly; a major issue was the production of the album (again done by Ed Buller). Things reached a head when Bernard Butler quit the band altogether in the middle of the recording sessions, leaving behind tapes containing his ideas for the songs that had been writte ...

Manchester - Earlier history.
The Manchester area was settled in or before Roman times. The Roman general Agricola set up a fort at Mamucium. There is a facsimile of part of a Roman fort in Castlefield, in the city centre.
In the 14th century, Manchester became home to a community of Flemish weavers who settled in the town to produce wool and linen, beginning the tradition of cloth manufacture.
Manchester remained a small market town until the Industrial Revolution, beginning in the 18th century. It ...

The attempt failed, and they ended up in exiled during much of the CeauÅŸescu era, but much of their music still retains a folk-rock sound. The present-day bands Spitalul de UrgenÅ£Ä ...

| | | | | Madchester: Encyclopedia II - Folk-rock - British and Celtic folk-rock The British style of folk-rock (in its early years, often called electric folk) was established by the band Fairport Convention, who formed in North London in the late 1960s. Steeleye Span, also prominent in this vein, was formed by folk musicians who wished to add electric instruments and experiment with song structures.
Across the English Channel, a similar fusion of folk and rock elements can be found in the Breton folk rock music of Malicorne (1970s) and in some of th ...

| | | | | Madchester: Encyclopedia II - Music of the United Kingdom - Early British popular music Main article: Early British popular music
Beginning in the 16th century, printed broadside ballads were the first genre of British popular music. These were lyrics transcribed and eventually printed (after the invention of the printing press) and meant to be sung to some well-known tune. They were popular until the early 20th century, when a combination of newspapers and recording technology made them obsolete.
After the industrial revolution, bars that provided musical entertainment arose, fuelling demand for popu ...

Also quite influential were 1970s and 1980s glam idols such as David Bowie and T. Rex, as well as punk and new wave artists including The Sex ...

The 1950s saw most of the world that had access to records listening to American rock and roll, especially the country-rock hybrid rockabilly, exemplified by superstars like Elvis Presley and Bill Haley. Though most countries soon developed their own rock traditions, it was the United Kingdom that evolved its own distinctive scene, making American traditions into distinctively British ones such as Skiffle and Trad jazz, and eventually adding influences from English, Scot ...

In the 1970s, the United Kingdom saw intense diversification in both popular and folk music. Heavy metal evolved from pioneers like Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath into the hard-edged, complex music of bands like Iron Maiden. Progressive rock grew extremely popular, with ever-increasingly "progressive" elements added in the form of obtuse lyrics, classical-tinged music and long-playing suites in multiple parts. Pink Floyd, Genesis and King Crimson are notable examples of this mov ...

Britpop was a fusion of all the alternative rock stylings of the previous two decades, with a special focus on neo-psychedelia and it began to dominate the charts. In late 80s/early 90s, American acid-house and Detroit techno music have made it to UK. The British have proved to be true alchemists of electronic sound, in turn pioneering multiple genres of (electronic) musical expression. From the academic point of view, th ...

In the 1980s, the spirit of punk rock fuelled a gaggle of new genres that took stylistic elements of punk and added new approaches and influences. The first of these developments was New Wave music, which featured atmospheric accompaniment to dreamy, otherworldly vocals. New Wave was very popular in the early 1980s, while other, less mainstream outgrowths of punk developed underground. These included an ever-increasing number of alternative rock subgenres, including The Cure and ...

Manchester - Architecture.
Manchester has a wide variety of buildings mainly from Victorian architecture through to modern. Much of the architecture in the city harks back to its former days as a global centre for the cotton trade. Many warehouses have now been converted for other uses but the external appearance remains mostly unchanged so the city maintains much of its original character.
Structures of interest in Manchester include:
