Carnival This Weekend

Big week ahead. Normally these prospective posts are about things that readers like you can get involved with, but I can’t resist listing a few private things. 

Tonight, after Andy’s Man Club in Manchester we’re possibly heading to a karaoke bar or NQ64, the Northern Quarter retro gaming bar. I’ve never been. So if you’re a bloke and fancy getting something off your chest, then doing a few midweek drinks… 86 Princess St from 7pm. 

Friday I’m hitting Stocco in Oldham for a colleague’s leaving do. 

Saturday: my first proper club night in nearly 2 years. I’ll be dropping into Bowlers in Trafford for The Manchester Made Me Funky Carnival. Billing itself as ‘The BIGGEST funky house night in history,’ the night is a celebration of funky house nights of the 90s and 00s. 

So what’s happening? A plethora of singers and DJs will perform: Julie McKnight, Jocelyn Brown, David Dunne and Nev Johnson from Galaxy Radio, Steve Edwards and Abigail Bailey to name a few. 

Bowlers will be transformed into a Rio-style street carnival, with a neon Jungle area, dancers in suspended birdcages, a rainforest canopy over the dancefloor, stuntmen, live drummers and saxaphonists and even a waterfall. 

An absolute blinder is ahead of us. Tickets are still available

Separate issue now: Actor Reece Dinsdale liked my tweet about Shakespeare and Tories. ID was a great movie.
