Describing it as "Manchester's newest pub-hours music venue" with meticulous "hip" credentials, Mick wrote: "'This is the very heart of the Manchester scene,' says the voice to my left, 'everything will evolve from here.' The voice belongs to a hip and scrawny band from Hulme. "Certainly the hardworking club owners deserve both respect and lasting success. However, there is an all too familiar danger hanging ominously over the proceedings.
A bold prediction, but one legacy even the astute music journalist couldn't have foreseen was just how influential it would become, namely its role in the birth of one of the city's most famous and acclaimed bands.
