In 1962, Nigerian man Phil Magbotiwan opened a brand new nightclub in Manchester, England.
In part because of his own personal experiences of racism, Phil wanted to create somewhere where everyone would be welcome – Manchester’s first racially inclusive nightclub. The Reno was born.
The nightclub became a particularly important space for Manchester's mixed heritage community, who felt unwelcome in city centre venues.
Phil’s youngest daughter, Lisa Ayegun shares her memories, of the Reno and her dad, with Matt Pintus.
This programme contains descriptions of racial discrimination.
