Saturday 5th saw Castlefield Bowl taken over by singers and DJs from Manchester’s 90s Madchester era. Hacienda Classical 2025 featured outdoor sets from Graeme Park, M People’s Heather Small and K Klass.
I didn’t go to that, but I did run a meetup to the Hacienda After Party in Albert Hall, an old converted church in the city centre. I ran a meetup with Manchester Nightlife and got one attendee, a new girl. She’d forwarded me on to a Raving community on WhatsApp, something she’d already joined, and it seemed they were planning to come to the same event. I tried to get the 2 groups to meet, but it didn’t happen on the night.
Still, myself and my attendee got on well and enjoyed the night. DJs and singers included... Felix Da Housecat
I’ve been trying to see her on stage for years, but every time she’s booked something has got in the way. Well, not this night. Reminds me of listening to Kiss 102 as a young whippersnapper. That’s how I got into house music. Graeme Park was up next (I worked with him at Key 103 radio briefly back in 06-08).
Great night. I’m going to try to run more house music nights via Manchester Nightlife.
