Club Paradiso, a weekly night of classic soul, jazz, jazz funk and modern RnB is coming to the Festival Hall with resident DJ Hewan Clarke, one of the original Hacienda DJs.
Club Paradiso launches on Saturday May 1st with British soul band, and 80s chart toppers, The Christians live on stage. The club is being promoted by Danny O'Sullivan and Alan Wise who both have a background in concert promotions at The Factory and Rafters in Manchester during the 70s and 80s. Alan Wise previously managed New Order, Nico and The Fall whilst Danny O'Sullivan was DJ at Rafters and The Factory at Russell Club.
Danny said "The idea is to have a weekly night each Friday, following the initial Saturday May Day Ball, and we hope to combine live acts with Hewan as resident DJ and occasional guest DJs. The intention is to provide a regular event for a discerning 20s to 30s audience".
The Christians will be on stage at 9pm, doors open at 7.30pm, with Hewan Clarke spinning the tunes till 1am. Tickets are £15 and available from Ticketline, 0161 8321111 or you can pay on the door.

Here's what readers have had to say so far. Why not add your thoughts below.
We live pretty close by and have long suffered the disco nights at the AE Festival Hall where under-age drinkers think it's great fun to yell at each other at the top of their voices up and down the streets around the Hall (seemingly not there for the event inside) as well as depositing bottles and glasses in hedges and along the roads.
As it's clearly a done deal, sincerely hope they'll be well organised events which don't impinge on local residents' homes/lives.
