ONE of Trafford’s most popular entertainment venues is celebrating its fifth birthday.

Hogan’s of Hale, established by founder Barry Hogan in 2011, is marking the business milestone by welcoming its ‘biggest and best events line-up to date’.

Following on from the success of its previous eclectic event listings ranging from original iconic bands such as ABC, Alexander O’Neal, The Real Thing and The Three Degrees to tribute bands and local talent, Hogan’s Live is set to champion Hale’s music scene by welcoming a series of world-class acts.

Barry Hogan said: “The team and I are thrilled to be celebrating our fifth birthday together with our fantastic customers.

"The past half-decade has seen a number of exciting developments for Hogan’s of Hale, as we have welcomed many incredible live performances and have enjoyed a whole spectrum of diverse entertainment.

“In order to turn it up a notch this year, we have secured a number of notable acts, one of which is Navi, also known as the world’s greatest Michael Jackson tribute, who has continued to captivate a global audience for the past 20 years.

"His show-stopping performance will grace our stage this June and will no doubt be a Thriller!”

Throughout the next few months, the venue will welcome a series of prominent acts including popular 90s band Madison (May 6), Harlequin (May 7) together with Navi the world’s Greatest Michael Jackson tribute (June 30).

Barry added: “To ring in our fifth year of celebrations, we are to set to host a number of private parties and corporate events right through until the end of the year. F

"From birthdays and anniversaries to wedding receptions, christenings, fashion shows and charity events, we have noticed an increased demand for our venue hire facilities, as a result of our unique space and notable scale. Here’s to continuing the one big party for many more years to come.”
