A Stoke-on-Trent DJ turned chef has applied for permission to play live music at his nearby restaurant.

Martin 'Mr Bigz' Mwale, owner of Mr Bigz Flavours on Crewe Road, has applied to Cheshire East Council for a minor variation of premises licence.

The application asks for live music and DJ performances to take place indoors.

It states: "Activities would take place on weekends primarily with extended days on occasions (Bank Holidays or summer months).

Martin worked four jobs to open his own Afro-Carribean restaurant in Alsager (Nub News).

Martin, from Etruria, was recently nominated for the Entrepreneur of the Year category in the Staffordshire University Business awards.

He DJs all over Staffordshire and launched an Instagram account showcasing his culinary skills during lockdown.

Martin also mentors school children in culinary and life skills and is a social justice ambassador for children.

Nub News approached Martin for a comment about the application but to date has not received a reply.
