A fundraiser has been launched for the iconic youth centre Salford Lads Club. The club was opened in 1904 and has staged gigs from artists and bands like Liam Fray and The Lathams in their concert hall, which is an incubator for grassroots live music. Graham Nash, former singer of The Hollies and Crosby, Stills & Nash, spent his youth in Manchester attending the club. Salford Lads Club has recently hosted Chanel for a dinner party in anticipation of the globally renowned fashion brand’s annual collection. Peter Hook, Catherine Tyldesley and Tim Burgess have also shown support for the fundraiser, which aims to raise £250,000.
