Happy Mondays are an English alternative rock band from Salford, Greater Manchester.
 Formed in 1980, the band's original line-up was Shaun Ryder (vocals), his brother Paul Ryder (bass), Mark Day (guitar), Paul Davis (keyboard), and Gary Whelan (drums).
 Mark "Bez" Berry later joined the band onstage as a dancer/percussionist.
 Rowetta joined the band as a guest vocalist in 1990.
Central Station Design is a Mancunian design company founded by Pat Carroll, Karen Jackson, and Matt Carroll.
 It is usually associated with Factory Records and the Madchester scene of the early 1990s.
 The company created album cover artwork and posters for Factory artists including The Happy Mondays, Black Grape, and James.
 Their design for the Happy Mondays' "Madchester Rave On E.P." in late 1989 became the iconic logo for the movement.
 The Carrolls are cousins of Shaun and Paul Ryder of the Happy Mondays.
Transport for Greater Manchester (TfGM) is the public body responsible for co-ordinating transport services throughout Greater Manchester, in North West England.
 The organisation traces its origins to the Transport Act 1968, when the SELNEC Passenger Transport Executive was established to co-ordinate public transport in and around Manchester.
 Between 1974 and 2011, this body was known as the Greater Manchester Passenger Transport Executive (GMPTE), until a reformation of local government arrangements in Greater Manchester granted the body more powers and prompted a corporate rebranding.
 The strategies and policies of Transport for Greater Manchester are set by the Greater Manchester Combined Authority and its Transport for Greater Manchester Committee.

 During the 1990s, Osborne was half of the Perfecto Records team, a production and remix collaboration with Paul Oakenfold; the artists they worked with included Happy Mondays and U2.

The Greater Manchester Police and Crime Commissioner was the police and crime commissioner, an elected official tasked with setting out the way crime is tackled by the Greater Manchester Police in Greater Manchester.
 The post was created on 21 November 2012, following an election held on 15 November 2012, and replaced the Greater Manchester Police Authority.
 Upon the creation of a Mayor of Greater Manchester and the inaugural election to that position, the duties of Greater Manchester Police and Crime Commissioner were absolved into the mayoralty and the office itself abolished.
 For the entirety of its existence, the commissioner was Labour Party politician Tony Lloyd.
 The police and crime commissioner was required to produce a strategic Greater Manchester Police and Crime Plan, setting out the priorities for the Greater Manchester Police, and their work is scrutinised by the Greater Manchester Police and Crime Panel.
 In November 2014 it was announced that the role would be replaced with a directly elected Mayor of Greater Manchester, and the term of office of the incumbent commissioner was extended to May 2017.
The Greater Manchester Integrated Transport Authority (GMITA) was a local government institution responsible for the strategic direction of passenger transport in Greater Manchester.

 It was created again in 1986 as the Greater Manchester Passenger Transport Authority.
 It was renamed in 2008 as the Greater Manchester Integrated Transport Authority.
 Policy of the authority was delivered by the Greater Manchester Passenger Transport Executive.
 It was replaced by the Greater Manchester Combined Authority in 2011.
