Nobody needs reminding of the rich musical heritage that Manchester has attached to it \u2013 it\u2019s almost like a broken record at times. You only have to walk down Oldham Street to see the likes of the Stone Roses, Oasis and Happy Mondays quite literally etched into the city\u2019s makeup.<\/p>\n

But away from the glitz, glamour and mountains of gold discs, a whole other scene is slowly bubbling to the surface.<\/p>\n

The art of busking is one to be admired, and although many won\u2019t give a street musician a second glance, one Manchester group in particular continue to make unmissable strides into the mainstream.<\/p>\n

Thanks to a recent impromptu Twitter campaign fronted by guitarist and lead vocalist Gaz Stanley, the Piccadilly Rats look set to perform at this year\u2019s Parklife Festival at Heaton Park.<\/p>\n

Their rider? A \u2018few butties and a bottle of dandelion and burdock\u2019.<\/p>\n

Since their formation in 2013, the group have gradually grown to achieve legendary status on the local underground scene with their rousing mix of classic pop covers, street attire, and distinctive rat-masked theatrics.<\/p>\n

Sadly, today\u2019s freezing weather means I won\u2019t be seeing the lads in their usual spot on the corner of Lever Street, but just around the corner on Newton Street, Gaz\u2019s friend Ian, manager of Empire Exchange, has kindly let the two of us sit down for a chat in his shop.<\/p>\n

An unusual setting, granted, but as I\u2019ve forgotten my gloves I\u2019m glad to be out of the cold; a subject which 60-year-old street performer Gaz knows all too well.<\/p>\n

\u201cPeople tell me I should be used to it by now after all these years\u201d, he tells me.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut I don\u2019t see it like that. I think the weather can grind you down as you get older. It\u2019s difficult in those conditions and people won\u2019t stop for you either because they just want to get out of the cold.\u201d<\/p>\n

That said, I wonder what it is about busking with the Piccadilly Rats that keeps Gaz returning time after time.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re just having a laugh and a good time. We\u2019re not pretending to be serious musicians or anything. It\u2019s a bit theatrical, bit surreal, and all we\u2019re doing is just trying to put a smile on people\u2019s faces.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen we first started doing it with rat masks on, people started to give us more money. Playing on the streets is actually one of the best advertisements that you can do for yourself because people might come up and ask us to play at a wedding or whatever, so actually by playing on the street, we can create work off it as well.<\/p>\n

\u201cAlso, because we play outside Wetherspoons, we get loads of hen parties and stag-dos interested in us on a weekend. We might get somebody come up to us and say, \u2018it\u2019s my mates\u2019 stag, can we give you twenty quid to sing Wonderwall?\u2019, well yeah, dead right you can, mate.\u201d<\/p>\n

The group, who in their infancy were formally known as Gaz Stanley and the Piccadilly Rats, are usually made up of \u2018vibemaster\u2019 Ray Boddington, Tommy Piggott, Alan Jones and of course, Gaz himself.<\/p>\n

However, such is the nature of busking, the Rats often borrow bassist Paul Sewell and drummer Jamie Wilson from Manchester band Death to the Strange, too.<\/p>\n

The group are heavily involved with various charities across the city – their part in the I Love Manchester bombing appeal in particular raised \u00a3400 for those affected by the tragedy.<\/p>\n

But I want to ask Gaz where his \u2018street career\u2019 began, and what it was that first sparked his interest in doing what he does.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe very first time I ever decided to go busking, before I was with the Rats, was outside the big Primark in town\u201d, he tells me.<\/p>\n

\u201cI set up all my gear and I\u2019d been there for about fifteen minutes and I just couldn\u2019t sing into the microphone. I just didn\u2019t have the f***ing nerve to actually do it. So, I just thought \u2018sod this\u2019, and I started to pack all my stuff away.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd then, I don\u2019t know what it was that made me do it, but I just thought, \u2018no, f*** it, I\u2019m f***ing doing it. I don\u2019t care if it sounds crap or whatever but I\u2019m having a go\u2019. So, I plugged my guitar back in and just went straight for it.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd one fella walked past, and he didn\u2019t even take that much notice of me, but he just dropped ten pence onto my guitar case. And that ten pence, even though it\u2019s hardly anything, spurred me on. I was alright with it after that.\u201d<\/p>\n

However, Gaz tells me he is still a bit shy and much prefers busking as a group rather than as a solo act.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith Ray\u2019s dancing, the animal masks and the police hat, it deflects the attention off of me slightly and goes from just being an ordinary busking group to quite a surreal theatrical performance. A f***ing weird show.\u201d<\/p>\n

And the performances have certainly not gone unnoticed. A documentary about the group, titled Piccadilly Rats: Live in Moderation<\/em>, is currently in its final editing stages.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s been a very long time in the making, but it\u2019s not been an easy ride\u201d, says Gaz.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen we talk about the actual busking, we\u2019re only scratching the surface really and this documentary has delved deeper into all of our pasts.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m 60 and the rest are pensioners so there\u2019s a lot of stories to tell \u2013 some of them not so great.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t want to spoil it, but it follows our journey and finishes at Kendal Calling festival, where we played in 2016.\u201d<\/p>\n

The film, produced by a company called Low Flying Geese<\/a> and directed by Nathan Cunningham, is due to be shown at the Vue Cinema in the Printworks later this year.<\/p>\n

Perhaps more exciting though, thanks to the power of social media and Gaz\u2019s wit, the Rats look set to make an even bigger name for themselves on the hometown festival stage later this year.<\/p>\n

A slot on the bill at the ever-growing Parklife weekend at Heaton Park in June alongside the likes of Liam Gallagher, Skepta and The xx would be their greatest achievement yet, according to Gaz.<\/p>\n

And he tells me it all stemmed from one rainy afternoon when he was stuck inside feeling miserable about not being able to get out and play, leaving him with nothing to do but write a few daft tweets.<\/p>\n

He jokingly posted, \u2018The Piccadilly Rats will be playing Parklife this year \u2013 ha ha, not on the main stage – outside the gates busking on the grass\u2019, but what happened next amazed him.<\/p>\n

\u201cOne woman in particular noticed the tweet and she actually got in touch with Sacha Lord-Marchionne who runs Parklife and told him we should be on one of the main stages instead of busking outside.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo then, Sacha posted on Twitter about it himself and he got loads of responses to it. Then he sent me a message directly and that was it.<\/p>\n

\u201cI had to get my daughter to check that it was actually him and not just somebody pulling my leg.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s still a way off yet and we know things could still go wrong, but hopefully everything goes to plan because that would put us on another level.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt would be a surreal moment for all of us because it would mean we\u2019ll have gone from playing on places like Market Street and Lever Street in town to playing at an event that\u2019s going to be attended by about 140,000 people. It\u2019s just f***ing mind-blowing really.\u201d<\/p>\n

Gaz laughs as he tells me they told the Parklife organisers that all they\u2019ll want for playing a slot was a \u2018few butties and a bottle of dandelion and burdock for Tommy\u2019.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe said that tongue in cheek because we didn\u2019t think anything would come of it.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut with something like that, it doesn\u2019t matter if you do it for nothing. The exposure that something like Parklife would give us would be amazing.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo, if it does happen, we\u2019ll be there with our beach balls, batting them into the crowd, and we\u2019ve also said we\u2019ll wear our I Love MCR t-shirts too.\u201d<\/p>\n

Through chatting to Gaz, I can see how much it means to him, and though I\u2019ve not met the others, I\u2019m sure they\u2019re the same.<\/p>\n

I hope it happens. Their determination is admirable, as is their confidence to get up and do their thing. Next time you\u2019re passing through Piccadilly and you spot them, or indeed any busker, don\u2019t just walk on because they\u2019re not Oasis \u2013 give them a listen. You never know what magic you might find lurking right there on the street corner.<\/p>\n
