My earliest memory of Manchester is...
My earliest memory is attending concerts from a young age at the Manchester Arena. However I also remember shopping around the Arndale centre with friends and family.
My favourite place to eat in Manchester is...
I have a few favourite places to eat in Manchester. I absolutely love to eat out, especially in my home town! But I’d have to say my favourites are Gusto, Tattu and Gaucho.
My favourite Manchester bar or nightclub is…
I love 20 Stories for drinks - it’s a beautiful place and the view of Manchester is incredible. My favourite club in Manchester has to be Club Liv. I've been going since I turned 18. I love the music and seeing familiar faces.
My favourite place to shop in Manchester is...
I love to shop full stop. No matter where it is. However I love to shop around the centre of Manchester like the Arndale Centre. I also love the Trafford Centre too. My favourite place is Selfridges in the Trafford Centre, it’s recently been done up and it’s amazing!
The last gig or show I saw in Manchester was…
The One Love Manchester benefit concert at Old Trafford Cricket Ground. Being a lover and regular at the Manchester Arena from an early age, the devastation of the suicide bombing in my home town hit hard, as it did with so many all over the world, and I had to attend the One Love concert. The concert was one of the most emotional experiences, however I loved the sense of togetherness there was in Manchester.
The best Manchester band of all time is...
Obviously Oasis are the best band ever to come out of Manchester. They were not my era but I do love their songs - my favourite is Don’t Look Back In Anger. Aitch is another artist from Manchester. He’s from around my area and I think he’s my age. It’s great to see talent coming from local areas, I love his music.
Manchester has everything except...
A beach!
People’s biggest misconception about Manchester is…
Many people presume we cover all our food with gravy and think our streets are still all cobbled! Manchester has some of the trendiest streets and restaurants in the UK. It has the perfect balance between traditional and modern style.

My favourite thing about Manchester is the people.
