MADCHESTER legend Ian Brown visited a Merchant City restaurant yesterday during a trip to the city.

The Stone Roses frontman posed for a picture in Bar Soba, which also has  restaurants in the city centre and West End.

The visit comes ahead of the Stone Roses Hampden gig next month on June 24. 

Scots rockers Primal Scream provide support.
