21st Birthday for Paradise Factory

21st Birthday for Paradise Factory

PF21

Just under three weeks to go now until Manchester Pride's biggest party!

In August 2013, to celebrate the 20th anniversary of Manchester's Paradise Factory, a very special reunion was held, bringing together in their former home some of the DJs, hosts, promoters and characters who made the club. 

With three floors and three genres of music covering 1993-2003, PF20 was a night of nostalgia. A night to remember the good times, catch up with old faces, give a silent nod to absent friends, hear some truly classic house music, dance like no one's watching and, for one more time, get just as trashed as they ever did. 

For the club's 21st birthday, the good ship Paradise will be dropping anchor on its final voyage at Manchester's lbert Hall on Saturday 23 August. Top of the bill at PF21 goes to M People's Heather Small who will be live on stage performing the bands biggest hits in a 30 minute show.

DJs for the evening are Tim Lennox, Dave Kendrick, Dave Booth, Huey Garry, Alan Stevens, David Dunne, Dylan Jeffers, Thaddeus, Jon Besant, Nick Hussey and Mike Allan.

The night will be hosted by The Divine David and Sister Marta, and will be an official Manchester Pride fundraising event.

PF20 was all about the reunion - being back in the Paradise Factory and meeting up with old friends. PF21 will be a celebration, a birthday party, a time to say goodbye to the old girl once and for all and go out with a bang in a truly spectacular setting.

To get in the mood for PF21, join DJ Jason Ford and your hostess Polly at Taurus straight after the parade for Polly's Post Parade pre-paradise Party (admission free).And, just to make it clear from the outset, there will be no PF22. That would be silly.
