In a Facebook plea, his elder brother, Harry Bartlett, wrote of the disappearance: "Charlie Bartlett, my little brother, has gone missing in Manchester for over 24 hours now. If anyone has or does see him, or knows anything please get in contact with me.
"He was last seen at Sound Control on New Wakefield Street after going to the Owens Park ball at The Principal (he will most likely still be in black tie).
"Please can you spread this to anyone you know in Manchester - it is massively appreciated!"
