Johnny Roadhouse

John Roadhouse (13 January 1921 – 11 April 2009) was a British musician who specialised in saxophone.

Roadhouse was born in Sheffield, but lived in Moss Side, Manchester from an early age.

Originally an aircraft fitter with Metropolitan-Vickers at Trafford Park, he began to play with local dance groups during his spare evenings.

His store became a cornerstone for Manchester music and was used by several famous musicians and groups including Paul McCartney, Oasis and The Smiths.

In his retirement he passed the running of the store over to his son, John Roadhouse.
