Summary

When you think of Manchester what springs to mind? Hilda Ogden? The Arndale Centre? Be-parka'd men singing whilst holding tambourines? Yes, all of those are quite likely; but if you ask us, there’s only one thing that comes to mind when we think of that hallowed city. It’s a man, a myth, a human vibe… and he just so happens to be walking towards The Moon Under Water. It’s DJ, musician and radio presenter Clint Boon!

Clint was a founding member of Inspiral Carpets, and has gone on to become one of Manchester’s most beloved adopted sons (he was actually born in Oldham). His DJ sets have become legendary, and he is followed by the self-proclaimed Boon Army wherever he goes. But one thing that you may not know is that he is a pub expert, and has probably experienced every kind of alehouse the world has to offer. We can already tell that when walking into his dream pub nobody will know how it feels to be lonely.

There are still tickets on sale for The Moon Under Water Live. There is ONE more date, on 26th September, when we'll be inviting a special guest to create their dream pub LIVE from a real pub (The George IV in Chiswick). Head over to moonunderpod.com for more info and to grab your tickets. The mystical realm awaits!

0:32.6	We are the moon underwater. I'm Oh Oh Here I am in between multitudinous lights of various hues, just as the sun begins to set behind the moon underwater's stained glassware,
1:15.5	and I do love how it fills the room so.
1:19.8	And I think that's a familiar shrouded shadow approaching the bar.
1:24.9	Could it be Robin?
1:25.9	Hello, Robin.
1:26.8	Hello, John.
1:29.2	How are you? I'm good. Why don't you rest your shadow a while? I will. I'll hang my shadow up on the shadow hook. Hang,
1:34.7	hang your shadow up, sit yourself down, and bathe in the multitudinous lights. Thank you. You've got
1:42.2	multitudinous lights on the brain, haven't you, Johnny? I don't
1:44.7	know if you heard that echoey-voiced intro, but the line about clapping rainbow hands together,
1:50.4	that was a very nice image. And I think, am I right in saying you wrote, that was an image
1:54.9	you used in a poem you wrote at university? Yes, that's correct. There are many echoes of former lives here in Moon underwater.
2:04.9	But if I recall correctly, Paul Muldoon, the great poet, said that was very good.
2:09.9	He did say that was the bravest thing in the poem.
2:13.2	Was he damning with faint praise? No, I think he was actually praising...
2:18.3	He was finding a positive and he really liked that line.
