"You could see them sat down and enjoying it. He played for about 10 minutes."

Mr Gurbuz was a waiter at the restaurant between 2008 and 2012, when it was called the Latino Lounge. 

The restaurant was initially set to become the 'Mezze Bar and Grill', but The Bolton News reported in June that it was changed to the Bradshaw Bar and Grill.  

Before the recent activity over the summer, the restaurant had sat empty and with some of its windows boarded up for much of the year. 

Bradshaw Bar and Grill will also be hosting an exclusive tribute night in December, with details to be announced on social media closer to the time.
