The Haçienda Classics: World Are You Ready For Manchester!

Product Information

The gig will mark Haçienda Classical’s seventh Castlefield live event in the past eight years, where they will be joined by special guests Roger Sanchez, Todd Terry and Peter Hook. By October 1987 he’d taught himself to DJ and had a Wednesday night residency at the Hacienda. His influence on music since – especially in France – is incalculable.

This is the act's lowest available price for a local performance by their smallest line-up. It does not include any travel costs. Plenty of clubs and venues have inspired musicians. ‘Plastic People’, for example, played a huge part in the development of artists including Four Tet and Jamie xx. We have compiled a list of our top 10 songs from the Hacienda days, but obviously there are many more, and that is where you come in. Haçienda Classical is joined next July by US house pioneers Roger Sanchez and Todd Terry who alongside Peter Hook who comprise the line up of DJ’s for the event.Sold out year on year, Haçienda Classical sees Tim Crooks lead the collective of artists and musicians on stage in performing well known favourites and new versions of club classics all mixed continuously into one non-stop set. We hired The Hacienda Classics for our wedding reception and certainly weren't disappointed. They were able to learn a few songs for us with their set list which made the night really special. All our guests said how amazing you guys were. Would definitely recommend.”

This bongo-drum, saxaphone-laced song inspired body-popping and had it all - a banging chorus and sing a long chorus. Acid house - what better way to tell the story of the beloved genre than by compiling an unmanageably huge list of its standard-bearing tunes? It was a sign of how fertile the Hacienda scene was that Elliot’s evolution from being a young Hacienda pot-collector to DJing and recording, culminated in him taking over DJ duties in the Hacienda’s main room in 1997. He was playing in the main room of the club on what turned out to be the last night – June 28th 1997. His last record was the Salt City Orchestra remix of ‘Post Modern Sleaze’ by Sneaker Pimps. Haçienda Classical in the Castlefield Bowl is the highlight of my year and I’m thrilled to be performing for a seventh year to the best audience in the world,” conductor Tim Crooks said. “It’s always an unforgettable experience.”A hip hop-influenced crew, including Martin Price from the Eastern Bloc record shop, and two of his customers (and Hacienda regulars) – Gerald Simpson and Graham Massey – began making music as the Hit Squad. Space Face’ was released by a major label, but Sub Sub then signed to Rob’s Records, founded by Rob Gretton, a director of Factory Records, and one of the key decision-makers at the Hacienda (Gretton ran Rob’s Records from an office above the club). This commercially successful 1993 release features Melanie Williams.
