Overview
- The tribute, which began Thursday, is taking shape on the wall of Lafadi’s Pub on Oldham Road in Failsworth where Gary “Mani” Mounfield grew up.
- Artist Pic. One. Art is painting the piece and expects to complete it in about a week, depending on the weather.
- Not-for-profit GRIT Studios is running a crowdfunder for the project, with all proceeds going to Maggie’s cancer charity in Manchester.
- Mani’s brother Greg Mounfield secured the pub wall for the mural and is backing the effort as work progresses.
- Early details show a nod to Primal Scream’s Screamadelica artwork, while organizers say the memorial grew after Ian Brown’s eulogy and follows Mani’s death in November at age 63.
