Graham Nash donates £10,000 to embattled Salford Lads Club
Singer-songwriter with the Hollies and CSNY attended youth club as a boy, where he gave his first ever singing performance
The youth centre, most famous from being immortalised on the sleeve for the Smiths album The Queen Is Dead, is attempting to crowdfund £250,000 after a drop in grant funding threatened its future. Nash, who was a member of the club as a boy, made his donation via the crowdfunding page, set up in association with Manchester Evening News. The redbrick building was opened in 1904 and is Grade II listed, with English Heritage saying it is “thought to be the most complete example of this rare form of social provision to survive in England”.
