Bosses at a new bar moving into the spot vacated by glam rock venue Doctor Feelgood in Stockport hopes to find the next big thing by championing local bands. Called Amp, the bar has been taken over by the former manager of Doctor Feelgood, which closed abruptly last month.
Aaron Davies opens the bar properly this weekend following a soft launch over the past week. Inspiral Carpets legend Clint Boon has already taken to the turntables, with Stone Roses legend Mani also DJing for a charity event.
With in-house promoter Charlie Cole, who runs the Vault studio on Stockport’s Underbanks, they’ll be programming the music and leaning heavily towards the town’s musical heritage and future.
