- Happy Mondays were introduced for the month of December 2003 as a way of getting Joinees to do an act of kindness for themselves once in a while. The idea was that on Monday you had to make an effort to do something for yourself. While they are not 'official' any more, many Joinees still partake of them as well as Good Fridays.
- Peel discovered the band through Factory record label in the mid 80's: they subsequently recorded two Peel sessions (in 1986 and 1989). Peel narrated on the TV documentary Rock Family Trees: And God Created Manchester, the subject of which was the Madchester scene: the Mondays featured on the show. Their biggest chart successes featured in four Festive Fifty entries, and JP saw them live, commenting on their rather fearsome retinue. During the period of their greatest chart success, he was prone to playing some of their earliest recordings on BFBS, sardonically promoting them as a cheat for those who wished to pretend they had liked the band all the time. They disbanded for the first time in 1992 as a result of the failed LP Yes Please!, which is credited with bankrupting Factory Records.

Shaun Ryder and Bez united with members of Ruthless Rap Assassins and Paris Angels to form Black Grape. The Mondays reformed in 1999 and went on tour supporting Oasis but split again the following year.
