Radisson Blu Take a BreakIn it’s heyday Club 43 was the venue that bands and artists appeared at after their performances at the Free Trade Hall.

Such luminaries as Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holliday, Miles Davis and Humphrey Lyttleton made regular appearances jamming with local musicians to the surprise and delight of fans.

Demolished in the 60s, the club has been “sleeping” since – until now; the club will be resurrected on the site of the old Free Trade Hall in the Radisson Edwardian Hotel’s Alto Restaurant.

The brain-child of general manager Stephen Miles, Club 43 will be more accessible and appeal to fans of live music generally not just jazz enthusiasts. But it will stay true to it’s former roots – jazz will definitely be on the menu plus a specially created Cajun/Creole buffet from Chef Russ Brown.

Fifteen dishes will feature in the supper including chicken Jambalaya, Cajun cabbage, barbecue shrimp, pork loin Creole, sausage gumbo, peas and rice and a heap of salads.

Music will be from the Mark McClaren trio who will perform two 45 minute easy listening Jazz spots. Local DJs Mike Vitti and Steve Quirk from Jazz FM will also be appearing.

Tickets for the evening including entertainment and food are just £15 and available from the hotel – call
0161 835 8904 or book on line at www.radissonedwardian.co.uk  in to the Alto Restaurant.
