## Summary

Stevie Wonder left a £1,000 tip at Cafe Continental in Stalybridge after performing a sold-out concert in Manchester, surprising the restaurant’s staff. The visit drew attention to a local business and came as Wonder’s UK tour, celebrating 50 years of *Songs in the Key of Life*, approaches its final date.

Restaurant owner Ryan Robinson said Wonder’s daughter had found the cafe after it opened two years ago, and members of the singer’s band had visited before. Staff received a last-minute call about his visit on 9 November and hurried to prepare; Wonder had performed at Manchester’s 23,000-capacity Co-op Live the previous evening and was due to play Glasgow’s OVO Hydro on 11 November.
