Rock nostalgia: The Smiths reunite for an evening of chamber music
mainThe Manchester rock band has signed on to a one-off reunion in a concert with the Manchester Camerata.
One of the foremost Brit bands of the 1980s, the Smiths will be represented on stage by drummer Mike Joyce, bassist Andy Rourke and guitarist Craig Gannon. The vocalist Morrissey will not take part.

The Smiths without Morrissey ain’t The Smiths.
Smiths without Morrissey = Beatles without Lennon. Stones without Jagger. Queen without Mercury.
SD without NL …
Who on earth are The Smiths????
Don’t be willfully obtuse…
I can’t help it…it just comes naturally to me. However, I thought this site was about “the inside track on CLASSICAL MUSIC.”
I cant believe this is being reported or happening at all.
The Smiths, for those feigning ignorance, are one of the most important bands of the modern times.
To stage a concert announcing their participation/reunion without Johnny Marr and Morrissey is ridiculous. The Beatles without Lennon and McCartney, The Stones without Jagger and Richards, Gilbert and Sullivan without Gilbert and Sullivan, Cosi fan tutte without De Ponte or Mozart…Get the picture?
