The line up might regularly change, but The Fall remain an iconic Manchester band with the lynchpin of Mark E. Smith constantly at the helm.
Famous for their chaotic guitar sound, repeated melodies and obscure lyrics, they count The Velvet Underground and The Stooges amongst their influences.
Having released a colossal thirty studio albums, they have a faithful cult audience, including the legendary John Peel who called them his favourite band. With Marc Riley a former member of the band, they are well and truly 6 Music family as they play their latest album at the Sage Gateshead.
