Manics' Nicky Wire fuelled by 'working class rage'

Manic Street Preachers bassist Nicky Wire believes his work is fuelled by a "working class rage" rooted in 1984's miners' strike.

The musician recalled watching strikers on TV and something feeling "broken".

That, he said, had taken a long time to fix.

Nicky's brother, poet Patrick Jones, said: "I wasn’t going to be a union organiser, I couldn’t do that. But I could write. So that became my pathway."
