IT'S famous for its links to 1980s band The Smiths - but a different foursome is bringing music to the Salford Lads Club this month. (Sourced from Manchester Evening News.)
In January, Central Salford Urban Regeneration Company donated £85,000 towards the concert hall's refurbishment as part of a programme of community regeneration.
On September 12 and 13, the club opens to the public as part of English Heritage Open Days programme.
The club, made famous when The Smiths posed outside for the sleeve for their album The Queen Is Dead, has been a centre for the community for more than 100 years. Smiths singer Morrissey gave it £20,000 to help towards roof repairs.
