sappnin(g) – contraction of 'what's happening?', now used as a greeting, via the sense of 'what are you up to?'Many have focused on Manchester’s industrial past and thriving beginnings but little has been written about the late 1990s. Mancunians is broken down into specific areas, youth; crime; nightlife; music; football; media and identity-capturing eyewitness accounts, for better or worse, warts and all. For anyone who lived in and around Manchester for the last generation or so, it’s a little surprising that many of the discussions relate to events over 20 years ago. Maybe it’s my age but so much of it still seems like yesterday. Stereotypes were everywhere, while the spirit of Manchester was silently suffocating. Mancunians: Where do we start, where do I begin? is the story of those who didn't fit the typecast: the musicians of colour, the football fans alienated by rampant commercialism, frustrated public figures, optimistic developers, and ambitious artists. Through a mixture of memoir and interviews with well-known Mancunians such as Guy Garvey, Tunde Babalola, Sylvia Tella, Badly Drawn Boy, and Stan Chow, David Scott portrays the city at the turn of the century in a way never seen before. -- .
