Paris Angels were an English seven piece band, hailing from Guide Bridge, Ashton-under-Lyne,[1] Greater Manchester, England, associated with the Madchester scene of 1989 -1991.
The band comprised Paul 'Wags' Wagstaff (later of Black Grape and the reformed Happy Mondays), Rikki Turner, Steven Tajti, Scott Carey, Mark Adj, Jane Gill and Simon Worrall.
The band were regulars of the Boardwalk and Haçienda clubs in Manchester,[1] and as such were heavily influenced by acid house and the nascent Madchester scene of the late 1980s.
In March 1991, NME reported that Paris Angels were appearing at the 'Great Indie Festival – A Midsummer's Day Dream' at Milton Keynes Bowl in June that year.
Bassist Scott Carey recorded with Chelsea-based band The Shave and hosted The Evening Session and Transmission on Manchester radio station 96.2 The Revolution.
