Warehouse Project 2009 - 13 Shows Sold Out

WHP 09: 13 shows now sold out! Switch and Loefah now added to the line-ups

The Warehouse Project started with a bang as the opening weekend’s double sold out shows saw the Friday night Hospital D&B crew, ably assisted by Goldie, Marky, High Contrast and co. rip the place apart only for house dons Steve Angello, Sebastian Ingrosso and Mark Knight take it to 11 on Saturday night.

The opening weekend also saw feverish ticket sales which now means that 13 WHP nights (almost half of the run) are now totally sold out in advance!

The new shows to sell out are this Friday’s Rephlex Party with Aphex Twin, the just announced Faithless Sound System Show on 14th November, October 17th Minus party with Richie Hawtin, Magda & co., the Thrasher event on 24th October with headliners Modeselektor and the Annie Mac party on 28th November featuring Major Lazer, Buraka Som Sistema and more.

This now means that the first shows that you can even buy tickets for are the APE 4th birthday bash on 10th October which has just had Loefah added to the line up and Erol Alkan’s now legendary WHP party on October 16th, with Switch now added to the bill. We say grab them fast!

Switch added to the bill for Erol & Friends on 16th October
Everyone’s favourite bassmaker, and one half of the production genius behind Major Lazer has been added to the Oct 16th ‘Erol Alkan’ & Friends’ show. WHP have been trying to pin down Switch for a date this year but as his production schedule remains as manic as ever its been tricky... Anyway he’s in now!

Loefah added as special guest on the Ape 4th Birthday
One of the anchors dubstep, it is with great pleasure that we add Loefah to the already massive Ape 4th Birthday bill. Loefah has been a bastion of the scene since the start and this will be his debut at The Warehouse Project.

Thirsty Scholar Diversifies into Comedy

PRESS RELEASE

Viz comics Simon Donald first on at new City Centre comedy night

For immediate release
Event date: Sun 27th Sept

A new weekly comedy night opens this Sunday at Manchester's popular watering hole The Thirsty Scholar. The fun starts at 8pm prompt and The Thirsty Scholar Comedy Night promises to bring the very best in established and up and coming talent to the city with a firm emphasis on value for money. Sunday is a great example of this with Mancunian comedy legend Tony Burgess closing the bill and first act on stage a man who can claim to have influenced many a comic.

Most comedians will profess a fondness for Viz comic. Started in 1979 Viz lampooned kids favourites such as The Beano in addition to the tabloids and is renowned for being very rude and 'not as funny as it used to be.' Simon Donald was one of the founders of Viz although he retired from active participation a few years ago to manage a band and, most recently, to pursue a career in stand up. Simon's new character - Barry Twyford - is firmly rooted in the tradition of Sid The Sexist and The Fat Slags. As you can imagine his material is excellent and we re truly honoured to have someone on board who not only influenced a generation of comics but is quickly building a reputation as a cracking stand up
himself.

"His performance as Barry Twyford, the geeky mac-wearing door-to-door market researcher, had me in stitches." The Visitor

"the highlight was very definitely Simon Donald, co founder of Viz magazine.... absolutely hilarious." Lancaster Guardian

A pro comic since his teens TONY BURGESS was traipsing up and down the country developing tightly written gags and an instantly winning stage persona while we were shaking our thangs down at The Hacienda. Ever heard a comic doing gags about scallies? Tony invented 'em! One of the most copied comics in the business very few have come close to recreating the mirthful magic of The Burgess.

A former 'City Life Comedian Of The Year' Tony has collaborated with Johnny Vegas, Stewart Lee and Steve Coogan to name just a few. In addition to performing Tony is also an established comedy writer and actor having written BBC's prison visiting room sitcom 'The Visit', in addition to writing on 'Ideal' and appearing as Moz's brother, pirate radio DJ 'Troy FM'.

"Always clever often hilarious…." The Scotsman

"A demon set and staggering stage presence." - Big Issue

"Last on was Tony Burgess, whose put-downs were sharper than a Stanley knife." The Visitor

Compere for the evening is also the man who books and promotes the new night - Oldham's Rob Riley and the middle spot is filled by David Larkins. The show starts at 8pm prompt and admission is £5/£4

Lakota to join Deansgate Locks Parade

Blue's Simon Webbe supplies the soundtrack at the opening of the stylish Lakota.

When: Launch Party Saturday October 3rd 2009, from 6pm

Where: 3a-5 Whitworth Street West, Deansgate Locks, Manchester, M1 5LH

Info: 0161 819 5858/ www.lakotamanchester.co.uk

If you like to be out when most people have gone home, tripping the light fantastic as the velvet cloak of night-time falls across the shoulders of the city, then you need to be at the opening of the city’s newest - and most stylish - club and bar. Lakota.

If you like to be out when most people have gone home, tripping the light fantastic as the velvet cloak of night-time falls across the shoulders of the city, then you need to be at the opening of the city’s newest - and most stylish - club and bar. Lakota.

Located in the heart of the city - at the very centre of the Deansgate Locks development and in the shadow of the Hilton Hotel, this fabulous venue is constructed from two railway arches, utilising exposed brickwork in an aesthetic nod back to Manchester’s past. The venue is currently being completely redesigned and rebuilt to create a contemporary space within those arches. Lakota will feature white leather furniture and the Lakota logo burnt into the wooden décor of the lounge. Built over two floors, downstairs will form the club space, with a variety of DJs, parties and events held throughout the week. Upstairs is the bar area – a long, open space, with a bar running the length of one side – available throughout the day for food and drink.

Lakota is built very much on the reputation of its food and drink, with gorgeous cocktails including the Porn Star Martini (Stolichnaya Vanilla vodka, lime & passion fruit served with a shot of sparkling wine to sip), Beverley Hills Iced Tea (Bacardi, Russian Standard vodka, Gordon's gin, Cointreau, lime & grapefruit juice topped with sparkling wine) and Chambulls (Finlandia vodka, Red Bull & sparkling wine).And remember – all cocktails are £2.99 on Fridays, making it the perfect venue for a post-work wind-down.And if that wasn’t mouth-watering enough, the food offer covers all options from breakfast through lunch and dinner, with pizzas a speciality.The bar also features some unique ideas, including booths with their own dedicated fridges, which can be stocked for private parties.

The venue will announce itself to the city with a massive celebrity launch party on Saturday October 3rd. One of the Manchester’s finest sons – Simon Webbe, from global boy band Blue – will be on hand to supply the sultry soundtrack and also to meet-and-greet those attending.It’s a good time to be a socialite in the city of Manchester. And if you like to be where it’s at, you need to be at Lakota, this October…

Didsbury To Welcome Irish Comic

PRESS RELEASE

Event date: Sun 6th Sept

It's fair to say the folk in charge of the funny down at the monthly comedy night at Didsbury Cricket Club have an eye for talent and when you consider that not one, but two, of the nominees for best stand up shows at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival (John Bishop and Tom Wrigglesworth) have performed there in recent weeks then it's easy to see why The Didsbury Comedy Club is proving a hit with comedy lovers across South Manchester.

September's show sees no let up in the quality of comedy and with a slightly Gaelic air;

Patrick Monahan is half Irish, half Iranian and was born in Newcastle where he first developed his chatty, story telling style.

As well as a regular TV & studio warm up - on shows such as 'Friday Night Jonathan Ross', 'The IT Crowd', 'The Lenny Henry Show', 'Davina', 'Open House with Gloria Hunerford', as well as a regular MC at selected venues on the comedy circuit.
He's also appeared as a contributor to nine out of twelve episodes of Channel Five's 'That's so Last Week'. He has also appeared on BBC's Destination Unknown', 'Malai Monologues' and as a panel member on the comedy quiz show 'Sudoko Street Challenge'.

"Lovable Stuff"
- The Independent

"He has all the charm of Ed Byrne, the energy of Adam Bloom and wild leaps of imagination that are resonant of Ross Noble"
- The List

Hearts will be broken, socks will be laughed off."
- The Scottish Herald

Genial white-haired Irishman Caimh (pronounced 'Queeve') McDonnell's gentle yet incisive humour makes any audience feel involved whilst playing with their expectations - sucking them in with his chatty, playful stage presence before metaphorically slapping them in the face with an unexpected punchline.

Caimh's also in demand as a writer with stuff popping up on the airwaves and on telly's 2DTV

"a standout act" - Daily Telegraph
"blessed with natural charm" - BBC
"superb" - Manchester Evening News

Surrealist Gerry Howell travels up from London to fill the middle spot and compere for the evening is Liverpool's jamie Sutherland.

Funkademia on the move

Funkademia Goes Mint

After two and a half fantastic years under a groove at One Central Street nightclub its time for Funkademia to be movin’ on again. Our last Funkademia at One Central will be August Bank Holiday Saturday (29th August) after which the club will be closing to re-open sometime later under a completely different guise.

This presents our night with the opportunity to move Manchester’s longest running club night into the heart of the City’s coolest night time scene – The Northern Quarter. The very lovely Mint Lounge nightclub right in the centre of the Northern Quarter will be our new funky home.

All our Funkademia DJ’s will be joining us on our journey with a very special launch night on Saturday 5th September. We’ll even be incorporating our Northern Funk into the Saturday gig with its own special back room for some original soulful shenanigans.

Firmly established as Manchester’s longest running clubnight from inception in 1995 at the Boardwalk to the Attic to Subspace to Zumeba to One Central Street Funkademia has without fail pulled in full houses every Saturday. With a card carrying membership of over 15,000 we are quietly confident our next chapter at the Mint Lounge to be no different.

Long live the funk


Funkademia, Mancunia – Mint Lounge, Manchester. Every Saturday from 5th Sept. 2009

Oasis Bar Hosts Rising Irish Stars

ITV Band to play Manchester’s famous Oasis Bar

Six piece traditional Irish band ‘Peel Your own Spuds’who have already been featured on ITV 1 in Wales have won a place to play Manchester’s famous ‘Oasis Music Lounge’ at the Farmers Arms in Burnage on Sunday 30 August. Band spokesperson Tom Flannelly whose family originate from Ballycong village in Attymass, County Mayo in Ireland said “We are really looking forward to our debut in Manchester. It should be a great gig and we hope to see as many of our relatives and friends from Mayo at the special event. There’s a big Mayo community in Manchester and the bar is owned by a neighbour from Ballycong, so it should be a great family reunion.”

The band despite only being formed in 2008 have already appeared on national TV appearing on ITV. The group are described in the media as “like the Pogues, but with a much prettier singer”. The line up consists of Rosie O'Donnell, Jane Turner, Scot McKeon, Mike Vodden, Keith Boast and Tom Flannelly. featuring accordion, fiddle, guitar, mandolin, banjo, tin whistle, bass, drums and bodhran. The band makes an unstoppable combination, guaranteed to get you up on the dance floor.

Lawrence Hennigan the owner of the venue said “We are really looking forward to putting the band on. I know Tom’s uncle Jimmy Flannelly really well. He comes from the same village that my father was born in and where we still have our own place. It should be a real family reunion.”

The Oasis music lounge is the UK’s only bar dedicated to the world famous band and features memorabilia about the group who were born just yards from the venue.

Despite only forming in 2008 the band has already built up a loyal fan base which follows them everywhere. They have a full diary of festival appearances already under their belt and have already appeared BBC and Local Radio and featured on ITV television.

Warehouse Project 2009

The Warehouse Project 2009
25 Sept – 1 Jan
www.thewarehouseproject.com
Beneath Piccadilly Train Station
Store Street
Manchester M1 2GH

The Warehouse Project returns for another 14 week barnstorming run beneath Piccadilly Train station as 2009 sees it begin its third year at the now (in)famous Store Street location. This year will see a plethora of the worlds leading players on the electronic music scene. The programme features what we feel are the best elements of what has gone before, and of course a barrage of new shows and warehouse debuts. Once again it has been tirelessly pieced together and as usual there are some very special announcements still to come.

Having garnered many accolades including Mixmag (2007) and DJ (2008) club of the year, the Warehouse Project is a story that continues to evolve quite naturally...but one thing’s for sure, its going to be another crazy three months in Manchester, with over 60,000 people flocking from around the country to attend these parties.

“We’re really excited to be back at Store Street again”, says Sam Kandel. “The line-up for this year has been pieced together over the last seven months…Since pretty much the day after the doors closed on the last series! We’re really pleased with how its looking as the programme brings together the best bits from the last three years of events and a barrage of artists that have never played the warehouse before. We’ve still got a couple of big announcements to come, and we’ll making some pretty cool changes to the venue once again. Everyone seems really excited again and we know now that it will be here in a flash and then gone before we know it. We’ve had an unbelievable response since we went on sale last week – perhaps with all the doom and gloom in the world right now this is just what the doctor ordered...?”

If you are a Warehouse Project novice you will be advised to book tickets well in advance as WHP veterans will already be messaging friends and booking up events. Nearly all of 2008’s events were completely sold out by show day, some 3 months ahead.

Featuring a staggering 31 parties over 14 weeks the Warehouse Project is a veritable Dante’s Inferno of twisted disco, demonic drum n bass, tribal techno, cultured minimalism, heroic hip-hop, energised electro, underground indie, bass infused dub step and of course, heart-stopping house music all night long!

The carefully programmed nights bring together the best artists from all genres under one hedonistic roof! With WHP favourites such as Erol Alkan (16th Oct.), Luciano (4th Dec.), Richie Hawtin (17th Oct.), Sasha & Digweed (18th Dec.), Annie Mac (28th Oct.), Chibuku Shake Shake (30th Oct.), Cocoon (20th Nov.), Aphex Twin (2nd Oct.), Ape (10th Oct.) and Metropolis (6th Nov.) making welcome returns we also see plenty of debuts this season as artists such as Fat Boy Slim (27th Nov.), Friendly Fires (17th Nov.), La Roux (21st Nov.), Jack Penate (23rd Oct.) and Little Boots (29th Nov.) headline and curate new WHP shows.

Over the course of the new 14 week run you could find yourself rrrrrewinding with Goldie, being electrified by Tiga, pumping to Eric Prydz, breaking with Crookers, mashing with Modeselektor, going Loco with Mr. Dice, Rinsin’ with Roni Size, shakin to Deadmau5, moving to minus or housing it all night long with Steve Angelo.

With more acts and shows still to be announced we think this is another roof raising run…the only question is…which ones do you go to?

More Edinburgh Fringe Previews for Didsbury

Edinburgh Fringe Festival is upon us once again and that works well into the favour of Didsbury's thriving comedy circuit. The reason is big name acts want to try out full length shows in front of test audiences and the canny comedy goer can get to see acts at a fraction of the price they would normally pay in a theatre. Not one's to miss a trick those good folk down at The Didsbury Cricket Club have managed to lure two of comedy's hottest properties to their monthly comedy night and Sun 2nd August promises to be a night to remember.

Didsbury Comedy Club head honcho Rob Riley explains;

'We were chuffed to little mint balls to get Justin and John as the command mega money ordinarily and I think it's testament to the hard work we've put into the Didsbury Comedy Club and the support we've had from the locals that they have chosen us. Matt's a lot less well known in the UK at the moment but i'll gurantee that that will change in the next year or two.

As the shows are works in development we've boxed clever and booked them right at the last minute so most of the wrinkels will have been ironed out and customers will get to see pretty much the finished product.

Scouser John Bishop has been all over our screens recently with appearances on Big Brother's Little Brother and endeared himself to the nation when he appeared on Michael McIntyre's Comedy Roadshow with an inspired routine about fridges in front gardens! A former medical rep John burst onto the scene when he won the City Life Comedian Of The year ( previous winners include Peter Kay, Alan Carr and Caroline Aherne) a few years ago and is now a full time comic. His engaging brand of observational humour mines his varied and colourful life experience - from fatherhood to cycling around the world, from a successful career in the corporate sector to playing semi-professional football and currently playing in the Emlyn Hughes Charity All Star team, and from working as a night club doorman to being voted by the listeners of BBC Radio Merseyside to be the person most likely to turn on the Liverpool City Christmas lights.

In his new show - 'Elvis has Left The Building' , he comes to terms with the fact he is now older than Elvis was when he died and compares their lives so far with hilarious results.

The two shows take place on the same night at The Didsbury Cricket Club, Wilmslow Rd., Didsbury M20 2ZY Admission is £6/£5 and advance tickets from the venue are recommended. Further info on 0161 445 5347

Mancunian Justin Moorhouse was already an accomplished stand up comic before having his face permanently painted as a tiger on Peter Kay's Phoenix Nights endeared him to the nation. Since then sell out tours across the and a multi award-winning prime time radio show on the UK's largest provincial station (Key 103) have made him a household name in the North. Firmly established as one of the hottest names in comedy, Justin made his long awaited Edinburgh debut in 2007 with his third solo show `WHO`S THE DADDY?`- a unique look at parenting. With a clutch of 4 star reviews and sell-out shows under his belt, Justin subsequently toured the show around the country and earned a commission from BBC Radio 4. Last year, Justin won a lead role alongside Eric Cantona in the new Ken Loach movie, 'Looking For Eric' which was nominated for the prestigious 'Palm D'Or' at Cannes Film Festival.. He returned to the Edinburgh Festival in 2008 when the rise of online social networking came under his comedy microscope in JUSTIN MOORHOUSE`S EVER DECREASNG SOCIAL CIRCLE which, once again, successfully toured the UK and we are delighted to have him with us in July to preview his brand new offering - 'SEVEN'. Justin and his management team are staying tight lipped about what the show contains but we can confirm it will not only be extremely funny but is also accompanied by one of the most disturbing promotional posters British comedy has ever seen. Justin dressed as Snow White? Wrong!

Dylan Festival Returns to Levenshulme

South Manchester Bar stages UK’s only Bob Dylan Festival

South Manchester’s M19 bar in Levenshulme owned is once again staging the UK’s Bob Dylan Festival attracting acts and fans from all over the world. The three day festival will be staged during the August bank holiday weekend from Friday 28 August to Sunday 30 August.

This year the festival has teamed up with its counterpart in Moville in County Donegal in Ireland with some of the Manchester acts appearing there in July before playing the Manchester festival in August. The festival is one of only seven Bob Dylan Festivals in the world, the other cities are California, Michigan, Berlin, North Italy, Melbourne in Australia.

One of the acts appearing in both festivals is ‘Mickey the Hat’ who during last years festival in Manchester appeared on the award winning Irish radio programme ‘The Full Irish’. He said about his appearance in this years festival “I had a great time last year and I am really looking forward to appearing in both of these festivals this year. I have managed to secure an appearance on all three days in Manchester and I am running the open mic sessions in Moville.”

Acousticfest - the organisers of the festival are promoted by twenty one year old James Hennigan said about the weekend’s festival “Bob Dylan has always had a massive connection with Irish artists, he was heavily influenced by the Clancy Brothers and Tommy Makem. It is well documented about how Dylan used to hang out in the Irish pub ‘The White Horse’ in New York, where the Clancy’s played he took the tunes of the Clancy songs which were old Irish songs and put in his own words. We had a lot of visitors from Ireland last year and are expecting even more this year.”

The Festival kicks off with a special Irish night on Friday 28 August to launch the weekend.

Didsbury welcomes Edinburgh Fringe Previews

Local comedy lovers can take advantage of some great bargains this summer as The Didsbury Comedy Club hosts two nights of full length Edinburgh Fringe Festival preview shows. Based at Didsbury Cricket Club on the first Sunday of the month a combination of some very funny comics, recession friendly prices and a relaxed informal setting have made the Wilmslow Rd venue a firm favourite for those who appreciate a good guffaw.

Sun 5th July sees two very different performers take to the stage - New York's Lewis Schaffer, a circuit favourite for many a year and a rising star of the future in Sheffield's Tom Wrigglesworth whose Edinburgh offering is based on an incident that found him making national headlines last year.

‘Lewis Schaffer has a unique style –
he can insult you and love you in the same sentence.’
Time Out New York

The fastest-talking and most highly-acclaimed middle aged New York Jewish comic living in Peckham returns to Edinburgh with biting political and social satire, shot through with personal trauma.

Lewis Schaffer is an American lured to the UK by his passion for a Scottish woman, then trapped here by an unexpected bond with his children. He isn’t an immigrant. He isn’t a tourist. He’s a hostage - stuck in a strange and alien land with emotions that he needs to deal with.

Lewis Schaffer is filled with hate. He hates women. He hates black people. He hates Jews. He hates you. Yes, you specifically. And – even more – he hates himself. Lewis Schaffer hates his hate: the hate has kept him from fame, fortune and love.

Lewis Schaffer’s quest is to join the great Black American comics – Chris Rock, Bill Cosby, and Richard Pryor - in the comedy pantheon. Is he black enough to succeed? Are you black enough to come along?

‘Fascinating… something interesting is clearly going on here.’ The London Evening Standard

‘A super-sized portion of harsh, angry, and downright offensive one-liners that just happen to be hilarious. Egotistical and vulnerable, almost at the same time.’ Chortle

‘Damn funny.’ The Fest


TOM WRIGGLESWORTH'S OPEN RETURN LETTER TO RICHARD BRANSON

Having witnessed a Virgin Train Manager abuse his position, (Hitler would've watched admiringly, taking notes), Tom writes to Richard Branson about a random act of kindness causing good to triumph over evil. The "SYTYF?" Winner and Chortle Nominee returns with a show about being proud, making a stand, and speaking French.

www.tomwrigglesworth.co.uk

‘COMEDY GIANT... DEFINITELY ONE OF THE BIG COMEDIANS OF THE FUTURE’ Time Out

‘IT’S A JOY TO WATCH AN HOUR AS ORIGINAL AND BEAUTIFULLY CRAFTED AS THIS ONE’ Scotsman

The fun takes place at Didsbury Cricket Club, Wilmslow Rd., Didsbury M20 2ZY at 7.45 prompt. Admission is £6 and £5 NUS. The show on Sun 5th July will also be the first and probably last opportunity to buy tickets for the Justin Moorhouse and John Bishop double bill on Sun 2nd August

Trof Go BBQ Hungry!

The Trof Summer BBQ
Every Saturday

During the summer months things tend to get a little quieter round Fallowfield, well not any more. Starting on the 20th June and continuing every Saturday all the way into September Trof Fallowfield has lined up a tasty selection of day time parties to take place on their trusty little terrace. Each week a different group of people are taking over, promoters, bands, DJs or friends of Trof, selecting the overall vibe of the day and organising music, bands and market stalls.

The people involved represent a decent cross section of the Manchester music scene with new Indie nights one hand to established Techno nights on the other. Not content with just good music the Trof chefs will be serving up high quality BBQ food, Seabass, Steak and a smorgasbord of veggie delights.

It all kicks off at 12pm with music till 1am, when you can retire home tired and refreshed, ready to do it all again the following Saturday.

Return of the Warehouse Project

The Warehouse Project returns for another 14 week barnstorming run beneath Piccadilly Train station. Just as it was three years ago when they opened those gates to Boddingtons, The Warehouse Project remains a big experiment. One that continues to evolve quite naturally... Never really knowing exactly how its going to turn out, there is nothing that has gone before that does it quite like this. For sure, its going to be another crazy three months in Manchester, with over 60,000 people flocking from around the country to attend these parties.

Season 3 of The Warehouse Project sees a return to Store Street for the final time. With plans for a new hotel and apartment block next door to the site, WHP will be unable to use this space in 2009. Who knows where the next part of the story will take them... in the meantime there’s some serious partying to be had!

“The programme for this years series is, we think, the best yet” says WHP co-founder Sam Kandel. “Its has been gradually pieced together since last October. This year there will be a second more intimate room of music, which has allowed us to go even deeper with the line-ups, putting on some really underground breaking talent in addition to the huge main room action you are used to. The preparation for the annual series has become a genuine labour of love for all involved - now everything is set its time to get moving... Welcome back to The Warehouse.”

Get tickets for this years Warehouse Project

Featuring a staggering 31 parties over 14 weeks the Warehouse Project is a veritable Dante’s Inferno of twisted disco, demonic drum n bass, tribal techno, cultured minimalism, heroic hip-hop, energised electro, underground indie, bass infused dub step and of course, heart-stopping house music all night long!

The carefully programmed nights bring together the best artists from all genres under one hedonistic roof! Featuring the likes of (deep breath) Sasha, Basement Jaxx, Dizzee Rascal, De La Soul, Roots Manuva, Tricky, Sven Vath, Reverend & the Makers, Squarepusher, Locodice, Marky, Goldie, The Whip, Simian Mobile Disco, Pete Tong, Deadmau5, Swedish House Mafia, Danny Howells, Magnetic Man, High Contrast. Richie Hawtin, Gilles Peterson, Erick Morillo, Annie Mac, Black Kids, Sinden, Jeff Mills, Hot Chip, Dan Le Sac Vs Scroobius Pip (Live), Justice, Ivan Smagghe, Optimo, Ar:Pi:Ar Sound System, John Digweed, Luciano, Jeru the Damaja, Wiley, Scratch Perverts, Flying Lotus, Benga, Plump DJs, James Zabeila, Erol Alkan, Hercules & Love Affair Live, Andy C, Hype, Stanton Warriors, Eric Prydz, Dusty Kid, Timo Maas, Squarepusher (Live), Boys Noize, Modeselektor, Mandy, Steve Lawler and Mancunian legends The Happy Mondays (Live) the Warehouse Project returns with an incredible final run to say ‘goodbye’ to Store Street in fine style.

Sankeys featuring Steve Lawler

Although thus far the summer has been something of a wash out, the club voted 17th best in the world in DJmagazine can always be relied upon as a ray of sunshine in any clubber’s week. The cutting edge venue promises to delight with a programme of fresh and exciting nights lined up throughout August. Following the success of Friday favourites Defected In the House and Bugged Out in July, August promises more in the way of new house as well as some Mancunian favourites.:

August kicks of with the well established electro house club night, Electric Vendetta featuring a hand picked line-up of DJs including German DJ/Producer, Thomas Gold and Filthy Rich. The electronic vibe continues into August with Voodoo Circus, featuring Jesse Rose and Brodinski. August 22nd sees the start of popular Mancunian night Sequence residency. Famed for its techno beats, guest DJ Robert Hood looks set to bring some of his innovative minimal Detroit techno to this corner of Manchester. And, of course, Sankeys is delighted to welcome back one of clubland’s true greats – Steve Lawler – back in Manchester and back behind Sankeys’ decks.

With its reputation as the nocturnal haven for those seeking the best clubbing experience on a Friday in Manchester, Sankeys serves up the ultimate all-night option:
