Mozarmy

What is the #Mozarmy?

The Mozarmy was founded in 2010 by Julie Hamill with the sole mission of connecting Smiths and Morrissey fans globally via social media. Its hashtag is #Mozarmy. It started on Twitter, and in 2013 a physical meet up was arranged in Manchester. Since then the annual Manchester Mozarmy Meet has grown from one night to a weekend festival. It has been featured on BBC 6 o’clock headline news and remains the subject of many documentaries, TV features, films and radio shows. The hashtag is now estimated to have half a million global users across all social media platforms around the world. The meet is hailed as a wonderful annual social event due to its joyous atmosphere and a chance to see friends from far off places. In 2024 the meet celebrates the life, music and incredible legacy of the Smiths bass player, Andy Rourke, entitled, "All About Andy".
