Cherry Ghost
CHERRY Ghost - aka singer-songwriter Simon Aldred - has been speaking about his Bolton roots and how the town has inspired him.
"Bolton's a little bit on the skids. But there's a level of integrity and pride and immense defiance that comes from that older generation," he told The Times.
He also talked about how he wants to avoid falling into the trap of becoming like singers such as Richard Ashcroft.
"He's highly privileged and away from the thing he's writing about; I'm living smack bang in the middle of it."
