Johnny Marr played a four-star set in Manchester last December, where NME He said: “Countless artists will strut their stuff on Manchester's newest stages over the coming years – Underworld and Adrian Lineker are among those booked – but Johnny Marr has something virtually irreplaceable: hard-earned respect and undying love.
