Episode 4: In late 70’s, The Clash were playing at the Manchester Apollo.
They had a spare night off before being booked in to record their next single. The recording studio, Pluto on Granby Row in Manchester, is up the road from Rafters Club, so they played a gig there.
Pluto Studios was founded by Keith Hopkins and Derek ‘Lek’ Leckenby, both previously members of Herman’s Hermits.
At Pluto Studios: The Clash recorded ‘Bankrobber’, The Fall recorded ‘There’s a Ghost in my House’.
