HomoRetro returns

Calling all ravers from the nineties and 21st Century club kids! HomoRetro is a night of club classics with a gay twist. We proudly present a night of retro clubbing, in a warehouse style, for an authentic back in the day atmosphere...

In 1988 whilst most of the country was watching Neighbours and Home and Away, that just wasn't enough for some. Across the country warehouses became the new churches of the club kid generation, embracing a revolution. With hands aloft, spirits lifted, the club kids embraced the summer of love and the dance floors were filled with peace, love and unity.

Manchester as trailblazer led the way in the House music revolution that swept the UK. The soundtrack was anthemic, uplifting and escapist. People flocked to these often illegal raves in the old cotton mills and warehouses to escape from the daily grind.

It was grim up north then apparently...Not to be outdone, Manchester's gay scene was also making waves with clubs like the pioneering Flesh at the Hacienda, the illustrious No1 Club and the legendary Paradise Factory. Anyway, back to 2010...

HomoRetro invites you to share in two decades of House music and a rich clubbing heritage. Whilst the soundtrack draws on the last 20 years, our ears and heart are open to future classics.

Venue: Sound Control - 1 New Wakefield Street

Date is..27/12/10 - 10pm - 3am. 

For ticket information please check www.homoretro.com from 05/11/10
