I'm making a short doco on the Salford Lads Club for the BBC and I was wondering if any of your readers would be in the Salford/Manchester area over the next few weeks and if they fancied coming along to tell us what the club means to them - it's not a doco about the Smiths in particular but we want to express that the club's sphere of influence spreads further than the borders of West Manchester.

We'd love to meet someone who has made a pilgrimage from across the Watford Gap, the Atlantic or even further. It would be especially great to interview any fans from Mexico or the South-Western states in the US who have made the journey over to Manchester/Salford for the first time.

We also know that the club was mildly anti-Smiths in the late 80s and early 90s due to the elderly couple who ran it being pro-Monarchist and the Smiths being outwardly anti-Monarchist. Now under management of the arts council it's a different story with a room being dedicated to the band and the club being happy to be associated with the band. We'd like to know how they feel about this.

We're filming over the next 3 weeks (27th October - 16th November) so if anyone fancies it they can get in touch with me at [email protected].

We'll throw in a slap up English pub lunch and as much beer as they can drink for their trouble.
