M People: People Get Ready!
Ian Gittins, Melody Maker, 5 March 1994
M PEOPLE are the darlings of hip clubbers and pop kids alike, recent Brits winners, and THE crossover band from club culture who can simply do no wrong. But if club acts are so boring, why is their current mega-tour a non-stop party and why are they terrorising Irish barmen and running naked around Wolverhampton? IAN GITTINS watches a dance band on the rise.
