A Manchester music venue will be back in court next week for a third time as a row over noise rumbles on. The Northern Quarter's Night & Day Cafe is still appealing a legal notice from Manchester council issued more than 18 months ago.
The local authority served a noise abatement notice on the Mancunian music institution in November 2021 following a complaint from a neighbouring flat. The following year, a court was told that council officers could hear the high pitch vocals of Eurythmics's 'Sweet Dreams are Made of This' from the flat.
Manchester Magistrates' Court also heard that the couple who complained about the noise which made their bedrooms 'uninhabitable' moved out of the apartment after spending £21,000 on sound insulation. Rex Chesney told the court that his partner became a 'recluse' due to media coverage of the case.
