Funeral set for late Silks founder Alan Murray
A funeral will be held for the Silks nightclub founder Alan Murray on Thursday.
The ceremony will be held at St. Luke's Church in Cannock at 12.30pm and followed by a gathering at The Premier Suite Lounge afterwards.
Those attending have been asked to leave the first six rows of the church free for close family and friends.
Mr Murray passed away aged 70 at New Cross Hospital, Wolverhampton, earlier this month following a battle with cancer.
He had opened Snoopy's - now Silks - in 1972 and was still involved in the running of the business alongside his son Martin, while his other son Scott runs Bar Sport and the Premier Suite Lounge.
The club has been a staple part of the Cannock night scene ever since hosting huge acts, particularly in the 1970s and 80s such as the Bay City Rollers.
It was also a popular go-to place for Wolves stars of the era including the likes of Andy Gray.
