ContactA long-standing member of the team, Sam started in November 2017 as Assistant Manager at Albert Hall, and worked his way into the role of Deputy Manager, until Covid. After exploring some other opportunities in between lockdowns, he headed back to us, as our wonderful head honcho, aka General Manager, since late 2022. Over the years, he’s seen plenty of artists on our stage that he’s loved, including Idles, The Libertines, Jon Hopkins, Peter Hook and Johnny Marr!
Sam loves that he gets to work with such an incredibly talented team filled with different skills and strengths, but all with a shared passion to make the venue what it is today.
With a long-standing love for our venue, from flyering outside Albert Hall to interviewing artists or marketing an independent record store, Hannah came on board as our Marketing & Ticketing Assistant in Autumn 2021. Having worked her way up to Marketing Manager for Albert Hall, she is an example of a nice full-circle moment.
Even before working here, there are plenty of artists that Hannah’s seen and watched in awe at our venue, including Stereolab, Kurt Vile, Self Esteem, PJ Harvey, Caroline Polachek, Little Simz, Ichiko Aoba, Kae Tempest, Pixies, Amyl and the Sniffers, Kamasi Washington, Magnetic Fields and many more.
Liam’s been with us for over 8 years now, having started in April 2017, and since then he’s truly grafted and worked his way up, from bartender right through to Deputy Manager!
Even his first shift was a big one, with him taking to the bars during Run The Jewels’ huge sold-out show. A lover of all things club and nightlife, over the years, he has been wowed by the likes of Jon Hopkins, La Discotheque, CamelPhat, Fred again.. and similar, but his stand-out has to be Nils Frahm.
Over on our @alberthallprivateeventsmcr side, this is Claire, who is our resident Sales Manager, taking care of all manner of private events here - from weddings to conferences, photoshoots, gala dinners and plenty more! She brings a fresh perspective and passion for showcasing the venue’s versatility beyond live music.
Since joining us in 2023, Claire has been elevating our private events offering, delivering bespoke, memorable experiences and helping people see a whole new side to a venue best known for iconic gigs.
If you’re looking to host your event here, get in touch by emailing claire@alberthallmanchester.com!
But what about gigs? Earlier this year, Claire had the perfect nostalgia trip seeing JoJo at Albert Hall; in fact, she even accidentally met the singer-songwriter just by chance as she was leaving! Doesn’t get much better than that.
Joining us back in September 2021, Sabhi started out behind the bar and has since grafted his way up through the ranks, from Team Leader, Supervisor, and Trainee Assistant Manager, to now holding the role of Assistant Bar Manager.
Over the past few years, he’s been a key part of the team running some massive events, keeping things running smoothly through some of our busiest periods. His hard work, dedication, as part of the Bar, Stock and Accessibility teams, have made him an invaluable part of the AH crew.
When it comes to live music, it’s hard for Sabhi to beat seeing Gregory Alan Isakov, Hozier, or Fred again.. take the stage!
Joining us way back when behind the bar, Jen has become an integral part of our team through years of hard work and a true passion for live entertainment. From day one, Jen was keen to progress and has elevated her career with us from Bartender, to Team Leader, to Supervisor and is now proudly an Assistant Manager!
In charge of all things people and recruitment, Jen is a main point of call for our staff. A special moment for her was getting to work as a manager during Laura Marling’s recent shows, as she was just getting started as a bartender the last time she played! A truly special moment - we’re beyond proud of her achievements.
Jen recalls several stand-out acts she’s seen with us, but says Self Esteem’s three-night residency in 2023 was her favourite.
