Interesting point in his career for Sacha Lord to step down from WHP and Parklife. A divisive figure, with lots of praise for his legacy, or cynicism for his tactics, depending on where you look. The inevitable winning candidate for Hospitality Advisor with the new Labour govt?

Event News: Here are tonight's set times for the Good Custard 5th Birthday in the Mother Mary's basement.

Venue News: Here's this week's event list for The White Hotel, starting with tonight's gig and through to Saturday night with Randomer. The venue has said it's January at the top. Just a typo!

Event News: Here are the set times for tonight's Hard Times party at Nowhere, featuring a three hour closer from star guest Kerri Chandler.

Venue News: Although its season of shows have now concluded, the Nowhere 'secret warehouse' on Burstock St has hinted it will return. On Facebook they said: "this is not the end >nowhere the return. sign up. stay informed. no goodbyes. just c u soons."

Every venue is expendable as far as developers and landlords are concerned. The city's 'progress' means build more, house more. Your culture is not ringfenced. If the Hacienda, Sound Control, Phoenix and Sankeys can be lost, so can Rebellion. Enjoy venues while they last.

Club... News? With nothing posted on their Facebook since August 2023, Sankeys have posted as shown this evening. Could a local announcement be coming from them soon?
