With the explosion of several new musical genres including the Manchester guitar band scene, the headline-grabbing rave movement and Europop, 1989 was a memorable year for music in the UK.

Oldham-based band Inspiral Carpets were one of the leading lights in Manchester's music scene in the 1980s - Noel Gallagher of Oasis was their roadie for several years.

Former band member Clint Boon gave BBC News an exclusive tour around some of his most memorable 'Madchester' haunts.
