It’s taken 43 years of me being alive, and much longer, but eventually someone has come up with the bright idea of daytime clubbing: running a nightclub event early enough to get the bus home after. Sure, other people have tried it, but Manchester institution Joshua Brooks seem to be the only local outfit successfully pulling it off.
Last week they brought in 2000s house music producer The Shapeshifters, who’s hit Lola’s Theme reached no.1 in 2004, for their Daytime Disco event. The only people I know who remember The Shapeshifters rarely go out any more to the point where I stopped asking, so I threw it on Meetup. One new Manchester Nightlife attendee RSVP’d, a woman a little older than me. We both bought tickets early on, so we both committed.
We had a good chat at Yes bar at around 4pm, then jumped over to Joshua’s. Before long, she went to put her coat in the cloakroom and didn’t come back, then left the Meetup group.
I get it. If you were hoping it would be a group thing and it turns out not to be, I see that the situation would be uncomfortable. Whatever, I just soaked up the music and atmos. Incredible.
