Hard Rock Cafe Manchester – skip the line

Manchester has twice grabbed the music world by the scruff of the neck and shaken it up like never before. It’s a city steeped in rock ‘n’roll and nowhere wears this badge of pride better than the Hard Rock Cafe at the Printworks. This is the city that blasted a new dawn with punk in the Seventies and another with Manchester in the Eighties. The Hard Rock Cafe Manchester has memorabilia from The Beatles, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Oasis and Elvis Presley along with more contemporary items including stage costumes worn by Natasha Bedingfield and Arctic Monkeys. Like all great revolutions, the Hard Rock Cafe wasn’t meant to succeed. It was 1971 and as the Swinging Sixties had given way to the Super Seventies, fashions and tastes were changing. Two hungry young Americans were in London and couldn’t find a decent place to eat a decent burger… so they opened up a joint. Their landlord didn’t think it would last and gave them just a six-month lease. Four decades later, there almost 200 Hard Rock Cafes in more than 50 countries worldwide. The first T-shirt hit the streets in ‘74 and the first piece of memorabilia came, fittingly, by chance in ‘79 when Eric Clapton asked to hang his Lead II Fender guitar over his favourite bar stool and mark as his spot. Today, the rock 'n' roll collection has more than 74,000 pieces and is the largest of its kind. By 1982, the Hard Rock Cafe had gone global and the rest, as they say, is history (that’s still being written)!
