Tony Daly in conversation with Oldham Chronicle journalist Simon Smedley

ROYTON'S own man-about-town Tony Daly is one of the best-known faces on the north-west music scene. The punk, mod and new wave influenced Rickenbacker fanatic has played guitar and sang in bands around town for well over three decades, firstly as a reluctant front-man in mostly bedroom band No Entry, Saturday’s Angels, the Micradotts for many years, and more recently the 261 Allstars. Listen to the hugely popular Daly as he speaks exclusively to Oldham Chronicle music journalist Simon Smedley about his life in music, how he got into it in the first place, and why the legendary Hacienda club in Manchester holds particularly interesting memories.
