“It is a big boost to have him play here.

“It has certainly attracted a lot of attention for us and for the town and tickets are selling really fast.

“There are only a few tickets left.”

Ryder was one of the leading names in the music industry in the late 1980s and early 1990s when he fronted the Happy Mondays. 

He went on to enjoy more success with Black Grape before becoming a successful DJ.
