This news comes after Crewe Market Hall cancelled its two live music acts inside the venue last weekend, Saturday (June 11) and Sunday (June 12).

The market received two complaints from stall holders about the music volume and replaced acts Tourniquet and Memory Lane with 'multi-genre background music.'

Tourniquet told followers on social media the group were 'gutted' the performance was cancelled.

Tourniquet were upset that Crewe Market Hall postponed the band's performance last week (Crewe Market Hall).
