Murray’s Music City 

Image Manchester District Music Archive

 I moved to Manchester in ’79 and Murray’s Music City became my second home, at first located in a shack opposite Harp Larger and then on Princess Parkway in a swanky new shop aided by his son Errol. In Manchester I became aquainted with Murray’s spar President and his selector Benji – probably the biggest of the local sounds ahead of Baron and others that used to battle at the youth club under the Moss Side Centre. We swapped dub plates and I even got to help string-up the sound one evening, ahead of a battle with a London sound at the PSV club.  shaka
