HAPPY MONDAYS PREMIERE NEW VOCALIST FIROUZEH AT SALFORD COMMUNITY STADIUM 23rd FEBRUARY 2025

Reviewed By: Hazy Kate

Although it was a short gig at Salford community rugby Stadium, it was enough to show that the band got a great new vocalist .

Firouzeh has an incredible pedigree working as vocalist working as Sarah for  80’s  indie band  Fuzzbox, creating backing vocalist for the Johnny Marr lead Freak Party of course became the legendary Smiths and collaborate with Hacienda soul Diva Melanie Williams . she’s also worked in the metal field with the brilliant Control The Sorm 

Unlike (Rowetta) a popular sidekick with the fans she delivers a more steel performance whilst inhabiting space without upstaging the key legendary members. She is one to watch that’s for sure! A perfect recipe for success. 

My favourite renditions were Kinky Afro and Step  on .

A young sparky new face in the group can only be a good thing. 

Her vocal is quite rock related, but there is enough soul to compliment the Mondays post baggy sound. 

Although with Fuzzbox the band had a different style her fab vocals adapt to the Mondays very well indeed. 

Her approach whilst performing at the huge stadium this brilliant vocalist was very in keeping with the vibe of the critically acclaimed band
