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? Get the latest What's On news - from food and drink to music and nightlife - straight to your inbox with our daily newsletter. Generations of indie-ravers have found inspiration from the pioneers and maintained the creative spirit of those Hacienda moments when electronic dance music fed off and into guitar music. I’m talking about the emergence in the late 1990s of DJs like Erol Alkan and, more recently, the cross-fertilisation seen in the work of the magnificent Hot Chip. At various times, brothers Jez and Andy Williams featured in a local indie band called Metro Trinity. Along with Jimi Goodwin, they were Hacienda regulars. Turned on by the music they heard there, the trio founded Sub Sub, and released a single, ‘Space Face.’ Subsequently, Sub Sub metamorphosed into Doves (two of their four albums have reached #1 on the album charts).

This remix sits pretty on the Hacienda Classic LP and deservedly so. You can't help but bob your head when it plays. This is a massive tune. To this day, it never fails to get people up dancing. The clever crescendo and Candi Staton vocals make this one of the biggest dance anthems of all time - and featured during Peter Hook's set at the Hacienda reunion at Albert Hall on Saturday night. Here you can also access the Deansgate-Castlefield tram station where there are trams every 12 minutes connecting to all of the main tram routes in the Greater Manchester area. It really has got people talking about the clubbing institution again, especially the iconic songs it played over the years.Graeme Park said: “ Seven appearances at Castlefield Bowl? Really? This show is always very, very special and I really can’t wait to return for another epic evening in July.” The unique live set that The Hacienda Classics perform is a high-energy show of upbeat party songs. Songs are arranged as mashups and medleys that blend into each other in a similar fashion to that of a DJ, ensuring a seamless night of dance music. 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. Stage times are always approximate for gigs, but here's a guide to all the different acts and when they're expected to play on Friday night. The best advice is always to get there early to avoid disappointment.

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. 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.The NCP Manchester Central next to Bridgewater Hall car park is also nearby, with 643 spaces. For sat navs the postcode is M15 4PS.

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.Temperatures are set to be around 19C when doors open at 5pm, dropping to 16C by 9pm, but at least there's no rain currently in the forecast.

This is the act's lowest available price for a local performance by their smallest line-up. It does not include any travel costs. Gerald pursued some solo work too. He’d be in the Hacienda all evening and then up all night making tunes that would fit alongside what he’d heard in the club, particularly the spacey, early Detroit house being played by Jon Dasilva who was resident at the Hacienda’s ‘Hot’ night.

Marking its seventh Castlefield event at “Sounds Of The City” in the eight years since 2016, the annual homecoming is one of the city’s events of the year as The Haçienda’s crowd, DJ Graeme Park, Manchester Camerata and special guests come together for what is now becoming a legendary party. It's about a five minute walk from Castlefield Bowl to the main line train station at Deansgate. At present, there hasn’t been any further rail strikes announced that may disrupt services. Happy Mondays and their friends had a favourite corner of the club; under the balcony, to the right of where I was in the DJ box. It was in this corner that the earliest and most enthusiastic ecstasy users were to be found. In the first month or two of 1988 the drug spread from there, eventually taking over all parts of the Hacienda.
