00:00Hi I'm Theo with Manchester World today I'm out on the streets of Manchester asking people

00:03about clubs. Now in recent times 65 clubs have closed up and down the country and it's

00:07raised some questions about the night time economy. Here in Manchester there's a bustling

00:11nightlife with great bars and clubs that are really successful. So we want to know what

00:15people's best memories are and if they're worried about the night time economy either

00:18in this city or in the country as a whole. Obviously I work in the licensed hospitality

00:23industry and I look after groups and venues and stuff from a business level and I think

00:30that I am definitely worried about it. I'm a DJ so yeah I've played all over and you

00:37know rest in peace Roadhouse, you know rest in peace all the venues in Manchester that

00:43used to pop right off. I think that city centre venues are in a much better place than potentially

00:50venues on the outskirts in towns that are a lot quieter. I quite often see people that

00:55are travelling now from outside of the city to come in for a night out or to go for a

00:58meal and stuff like that.
