The legendary Hard Rock Cafe Manchester is turning 20 this month – and the restaurant is attempting to create the ultimate playlist to mark the occasion.
Working together with Mancs, Hard Rock Cafe is building a list that best represents Manchester’s insanely rich music heritage.
The 20-track virtual album, aptly titled ‘Manc You For The Music’, is being chosen by a panel of industry experts made up of musicians, music journalists and promoters.
DJ Paulette, BBC Radio 5 Live presenter Nihal Arthanayake, I Am Kloot drummer Andy Hargreaves, Sounds From the Other City Manager Rivca Burns, and Happy Mondays Singer Rowetta are all chipping in with their suggestions.
But Hard Rock Cafe is also asking for input from from the public.

“We can’t wait to see the tracks that are suggested and those that make the final cut.
