Description:
The longest continuously running club in the city by a stretch. This not only provided a backdrop for the classic Mancunian movie "A Taste of Honey" from 1961 but was also the scene of The Smiths first concert in 1982. the Ritz was immortalised in verse by punk poet John Cooper Clarke in "Salomey Maloney". Local bands Doves and A Certain Ratio still play here. A tribute concert to Rob Gretton, manager of Joy Division and New Order and pivotal figure on the Manchester music scene was held on the 5th anniversary of his death in May 2004.
