The Night & Day Cafe will have its day in court at the end of next month, as the row over noise complaints made about the iconic music venue continues. The owners of the bar will have a three day hearing appealing the noise abatement notice that it was served with in November last year.
Musicians and music fans have campaigned for the venue after complaints from local residents were made about noise from the venue after it opened up following lockdown. The Night & Day has seen dozens of revered bands go through its doors over its three decades in the music business, including the likes of Ed Sheeran, Arctic Monkeys and Manic Street Preachers.
The venue will be claiming in its appeal that documents relating to sound proofing of the next door apartments were not submitted during the planning stages, and also that sound-proofing work was not completed when the building was being turned into a residential dwelling more than 20 years ago. However, Manchester City Council has denied the claims, adding that complaints have come from three local residents.
