There should be a statue of him at the entrance to Oldham Street.

A stark decision for Manchester City Council this week.
It can hand the city to big money & developers by deciding to pursue the ridiculous noise abatement notice against Night & Day knowing it will close the venue.
Or they can back the music community, stand by the musical heritage, stand up for the people of Manchester, and throw the notice in the bin where it belongs.
