Ian Brown joined by guests at Manchester gig

Ian Brown's Manchester Apollo gig featured guests Noel Gallagher, James Lavelle and Mani, with the crowd celebrating Stone Roses classics.

Much fun at Ian Brown's gig at the Manchester Apollo last night where the crowd went mad for the Stone Roses classics that Brown has recently added to his live set. In something of an allstar show, Noel Gallagher joined Brown on stage to perform 'Keep What Ya Got', the Ian Brown track that Noel co-wrote. For the final encore James Lavelle was on stage as Brown performed two of the tracks he has recorded with Lavelle's UNKLE outfit - 'Be There' and 'R.E.I.G.N'. But the big highlight for Roses fans was probably when the band's bassist Mani came on stage. Although he didn't, as some had hoped, offer any musical contributions, the audience went wild as Brown announced: "Let's have a big hand for Mani. Mani's in the house!"
