Northern Irish pub operator in administration

Northern Irish pub chains CDC Leisure and Tarwood have called in administrators to take control of their four Belfast-based music pubs.

The two companies run four licensed venues in the city: Auntie Annies, Katy Dalys, the Limelight and the Spring & Airbrake.

The venues were famed for playing host to a string of musical acts including Oasis, Paul Weller, the Strokes, Franz Ferdinand, Interpol, Arctic Monkeys, Kaiser Chiefs, Babyshambles and Duffy.

Administrator John Hansen of KPMG said: "We are currently reviewing the business. However, I can confirm that Auntie Annies, Katy Dalys, The Limelight and The Spring & Airbrake will continue to trade as normal whilst we assess all potential future options."
