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.
