Shaun Ryder has admitted he'd love to write some new material for the likes of Taylor Swift and One Direction.

The Happy Mondays member claims he doesn't know too much about the current music scene apart from what his daughters listen to, but thinks Taylor in particular is "f***ing great".
Speaking to BANG Showbiz he explained: "I haven't really got a clue about what's out, it's not that it's rubbish I just don't listen to it. I do listen to Miley Cyrus and all that, whatever seven-year-old kids are listening to.
"And I listen to the other one, the country and western singer, Taylor Swift, she's f***ing great. I'd write a song for her. I'll write one especially for Taylor Swift, and One Direction, absolutely, why not."
Now, Shaun is focusing on his own career and looks forward to celebrating the 25th anniversary of his group's seminal album 'Pills, Thrills and Bellyaches' later this year.
However he does admit that life on the road is now very different to when the record was first released.
At the NME Awards last night he said: "This year we're celebrating 25 years of 'Pills, Thrills and Bellyaches', there's a tour in November and December, we're going everywhere. I'm sure the rider will be different this time round. We don't have a bus anymore, we have a mini-van and a driver!"
