Guitarist leads search for talent
THE guitarist from one of the most influential bands of the last 20 years will be launching a project to find a new generation of creative talent in a Yorkshire city tomorrow.
John Squire, who was one of the founding members of the iconic Manchester band, The Stone Roses, will be in York for the official launch of a non-for-profit artistic hub.
The guitarist has himself now carved out a successful career as a contemporary artist after The Stone Roses broke up in 1996.
