I used to do Thursday nights in Ashton in Tameside back in 2000 to 2003 maybe. There were a handful of places that would do the occasional house music set but Chute bar became the place if that was your taste. It’s been closed for a few years, but Monopoly Events’ Andy Kleek has managed to revive the bar to its former days.
Last night a crowd of us made it down to Chute for house music. Lots of familiar friendly faces from days gone by and some new ones too, despite the rest of the town looking as desolate as the start of 28 Days Later. Smart interior, good sound system. Of course, brilllinat classic house music too. Worth keeping an eye out.
Last weekend Andy brought down 2 For the Love of Horror guests to see the bar: Costas Mandaylor and William Forsythe!
Can’t believe William was right around the corner from where I bought a second hand copy of his movie Things to do in Denver when You’re Dead. I bought that on Ashton Market when I was in college, in about 1999. I wonder what he’d make of that.
