Manchester Lindy Exchange Hello! You’ve done it! You’ve decided to join us at the second Manchester Lindy Exchange (aka - MCRLX the SEQUEL) We are very pleased to welcome you to our exciting city for a weekend of live music and dance! In the following booklet you will find: a weekend programme, how-to tips on travel and parking in Manchester, suggestions for some non-dancing things to do while you are in town, a list of important contact numbers and suggestions on where to go to seek (hopefully unnecessary) emergency advice, and a quick what's on and where guide to all MCRLX events. We would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone involved in the planning and realisation of this event, brought to you entirely by a team of Lindy-loving volunteers. We can't wait to see you on the dance floor! Manchester Lindy Committee www.mcrlx.com www.manchesterlindy.com [email protected] Like last year, only better. It’s going to be mint… Page "1 ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! Weekend Programme! Friday Night ! Time: 7:30pm - Midnight Venue: Freemasons’ Hall, 6 Bridge St, Manchester. M3 3BT !Event: Registration and Welcome Dance (weekend ticket holders only) We’re thrilled to be starting the weekend in glorious style by welcoming y’all to the central Manchester venue that our regular Lindy Hoppers know and love the most - the stunningly beautiful, art deco FREEMASONS’ HALL. In wonderful, serendipitous harmony, we are pleased to announce that our favourite venue will be playing host to one of our favourite bands - you saw them at our 5th birthday party, now see them again at MCRLX, it’s those Swingin’, Jump Jivin’, Blues-in’ cheeky Northern monkeys, LOUIS LOUIS LOUIS.! Friday’s event is exclusively for weekend ticket holders - this is where you’ll meet your hosts and get a taste of what Lindy Hop in Manchester is like during the 51 other weeks of the year.! The venue has a polished parquet dance floor and a subsidiary room fit to awe Freemasons, including an iconic checkerboard floor. This can be a surprisingly fast surface to dance on, so do !choose suitable shoes!! Travel: Nearest tram - St Peter’s Square. Buses - All town centre routes are in easy reach.! Parking: As with all our 2014 venues, we strongly advise you do not drive into the centre of town, as public transport is cheaper and easier - however, if you do wish to drive - Park on the other side of the Bridge (technically Salford) where street parking is free after 6pm. Manchester street parking is free only after 8pm. Do not use the NCP multi story opposite the venue (behind House of Fraser), a local legend describes it as “The most expensive car park in the North”. You have been !warned!! Page "2 ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! Weekend Programme! ! Saturday Afternoon/Evening ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! Time: 3pm - 11pm Venue: The Ritz- Whitworth Street West, Manchester, M1 5NQ Event: All day Dance Party - Theme: “Putting on the Ritz” (this event is open to both !weekend and single event ticket holders) Saturday’s main event is a TWELVE HOUR ALL DAY DANCE PARTY MARATHON! ! Manchester’s most iconic music venue THE RITZ will be turning its back on the last 70 years and temporarily time-travelling to its legendary ballroom days - and we’ve got not one, but TWO bands lined up to accompany this grand old dame of a dancehall on her nostalgic journey. Occupying the afternoon slot (and the spot where such luminaries as The Beatles and Frank Sinatra once stood) are Leeds-based-but-New-Orleans-flavoured 7 piece, ALLIGATOR GUMBO, who’ll be serving up a tasty Creole inspired musical stew. Don’t get too full though, because after our Gumbo starter the Saturday feast continues with the only musical outfit making a repeat appearance at MCRLX, THE STIRLING AUSTIN SWING BAND. Back by popular demand and ready to syncopate our socks off, these Smooth Swingers will bring an air of sophistication to the evening, and fill The Ritz (from fabled sprung floor to beautiful balconies) with the spirits of the long forgotten bandleaders of the glory days.You are free to come and go for the duration of this event and you are also welcome to get changed into evening finery at the venue should you be so inclined. Nearby places to eat include: The Cornerhouse, Gorilla, The Whim Wham Cafe and Bar Revolution, There is a small !Sainsbury’s nearby and a late night pharmacy is available on Oxford Road. ! Travel: Nearest tram - choose from St Peter’s Square or Deansgate. Buses - Oxford Road Routes are nearest (alight by The Cornerhouse) but Piccadilly Gardens and other central stops are also within easy walking distance. ! Parking: There is a small street level car park on Little Peter Street that appears to be slightly less expensive than most (M15 4QH). However, once again, we really do recommend using public transport as much as is possible!! Page "3 ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! Weekend Programme! Saturday Late-Night ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! Time: 10pm-3am Venue: Zoo @ The Pub - 126 Grosvenor St, Manchester, M1 7HL Event: The After (math) Party (this event is open to both weekend and single event ticket holders) Our second Saturday venue is a dingy, dark cave nominated as THE place to give you an authentic taste of Madchester. It’s a favourite haunt of students and well, students. Zoo will play host to our FOURTH band of the weekend, the ridiculously fun RETROSETTES as well as some surprisingly eclectic DJ sets. Be warned, this late night bash will quickly descend into party-chaos. Well, it did last year, anyway (collective shamed face).! The Ritz and Zoo are merely a ten minute walk apart, so join our ‘walking bus’ from one venue to the other (setting off from outside The Ritz at approximately 10.30pm). Along the way we are guaranteed to experience some genuine Mancunian nitelife, and we’ll probably get some chips !from the near legendary take away institution, Popolino’s. Seriously, ask Auntie Google.! Travel: Nearest tram - St Peter’s Square. Buses - All Oxford Road routes. ! Parking: Seriously? You don’t want to saunter up the Oxford Road with us? Humph. Try the street level pay and display on Brancaster Road (M60 7HB). Don’t use the Aquatics NCP - it shuts at 11 !and you’ll be on a night bus home with the rest of us. ! ! ! ! Page "4 ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! Weekend Programme! Sunday Afternoon ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! Time:1pm-5pm! Venue: Halle´ St Peters - 40 Blossom Street, Ancoats, Manchester, M4 6BF Event: Afternoon Dance - A Very Happy Ending (this event is open to both weekend and !single event ticket holders) ! Thankfully, after the shocking filth of a typical Manchester Lindy after-party, we’ll be able to recover our purity at Sunday church… Deconsecrated church anyway; for our final central Manchester venue is the jaw-dropping, awe-inspiring HALLE´ ST PETER’S, our third listed building of the weekend. This once-derelict Victorian church is usually home to the Hallé Symphony Orchestra, but who needs a whole orchestra when you’ve got LEEDS CITY STOMPERS in town? This popular two piece will be showing the once-hallowed Hallé halls how to play stripped-down, red-hot 1920s & 30s Jazz, Hillbilly and Blues with a minimum of fuss. They’ll probably need a rest after !supporting the one and only Steven Seagal in Leeds the previous night, anyway.! The perfect ending to our perfect weekend. Just don’t bring Mr Seagal, boys, we’ll be too hungover !for Aikido. ! ! Travel: Nearest Tram - Shudehill or Piccadilly Gardens. Buses - all city centre routes. Parking: Really? You won’t still be too drunk to drive? Tea Totallers or those that abstained from Saturday’s shenanigans will find a couple of car parks either side of Spear Street (within a few minutes walk of the venue) at the bargain price of £1/hour. !Spear St, Manchester, M1 1DF.! ! ! !

  • Decision on Relevant Merger Situation and Substantial Lessening of Competition
    Completed acquisition by LN-Gaiety Holdings Limited of MAMA & Company Limited Decision on relevant merger situation and substantial lessening of competition ME/6574/15 The CMA’s decision on reference under section 22(1) of the Enterprise Act 2002 given on 19 February 2016. Full text of the decision published on 7 April 2016. Please note that [] indicates figures or text which have been deleted or replaced in ranges at the request of the parties for reasons of commercial confidentiality. SUMMARY 1. LN-Gaiety Holdings Limited (LN-Gaiety) acquired MAMA & Company Limited (MAMA) on 6 August 2015 (the Merger). LN-Gaiety and MAMA are together referred to as the Parties. 2. The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) believes that it is or may be the case that the Parties’ enterprises have ceased to be distinct and that the share of supply test is met. The four-month period for a decision, as extended, has not yet expired. The CMA therefore believes that it is or may be the case that a relevant merger situation has been created. 3. The Parties overlap in the ownership and operation of indoor live entertainment venues in Birmingham, Manchester and London, and the ownership and operation of live music festivals in the UK. The CMA assessed the impact of the Merger in these product and geographic frames of reference. 4. The CMA also considered whether the Merger gave rise to vertical effects where the merged entity could increase the price it charges for venues to rival promoters, increasing their costs and making them less competitive; and/or whether the Merger gave rise to conglomerate effects where the merged entity could foreclose rivals through a tying or bundling strategy.
