Liverpool band, The Smiths Indeed, are launching their Meat Is Murder 25th Anniversary UK tour in the North West this week to celebrate 25 years of the Smith's seminal album.
The group will be performing at the iconic Salford Lad's Club, Salford, on Thursday 11th February between 12pm and 3pm.
The club, on the corner of St Ignatius Way and Coronation Street, was used for the sleeve of The Smiths album, The Queen is Dead and is a place of pilgrimage for many Smiths fans.
Former Smith's frontman Morrissey even donated £20,000 towards the 107-year-old building's restoration after an appeal in 2007 to restore the building to its former glory.
Since forming in Liverpool in 2005 The Smiths Indeed have built up a formidable reputation as the leading tribute act to The Smiths. Their trump card is a singer with uncannily similar vocal chords to Morrissey's.
Lead singer Jurgen Wendelen said: "We aim to recapture the atmosphere and excitement of a mid-Eighties Smiths concert, with flowers, spectacles, open shirts, triumphant sing-alongs and glowing faces."
The Smiths Indeed offer a fantastic night of nostalgia for those who remember those distant days in the mid-1980s when The Smiths lit up the world of popular music. For those who weren't even born then or were otherwise engaged, they offer a great opportunity to witness what it might have been like to see The Smiths live.
The band were also behind the recent Facebook campaign to give The Smiths their first ever British number one on the 25th anniversary of one of their most successful records. The band are hoping How Soon Is Now will be back in the charts to celebrate the February 1985 release of Meat Is Murder.
