Episode 236

Born Gary Mounfield in 1962 in Manchester, Mani became the iconic bassist of The Stone Roses, a band that helped define the Madchester sound of the late ’80s and early ’90s. Known for his melodic basslines and effortless cool, Mani’s style was as much a backbone of the band’s sound as it was a quiet statement of personality—playful, inventive, and undeniably British. Beyond the music, Mani embodied the rebellious yet charming spirit of the era, moving seamlessly between studio, stage, and later projects, leaving an indelible mark on indie and alternative rock. His journey is a story of rhythm, resilience, and the quiet power of a bassist who always let the music speak for itself.
