Manchester rock and roll band Black Grape were Shaun Ryder’s next project after the demise in 1992 of his then band The Happy Mondays. He recruited his friend Bez and rapper Kermit to join him. Funky, electric and with humorous catching phrases their debut album It’s Great When You’re Straight… Yeah! went straight to number one in the UK and spawned three Top 20 singles.
'I went to the same primary and secondary schools as Shaun and his younger brother Paul Ryder. I had the opportunity to work with them both during their Happy Mondays era, but for an artist like Shaun to come back for a second time with an amazing project like Black Grape, well he made a lot of his old school friends very proud and he achieved this with his feet firmly on the ground.'
