Fancy taking a stroll down Raver's End? Take a little mosey on down to Madchester Beginnings? Well, now, you kind of can. Urbis has put together a Factory Records city walk to commemorate and celebrate the significant influence that era had on the world's clubbing scene and how it set the standards for a hedonistic future. The walk will stop off at the Free Trade Hall, the site of the original Hacienda nightclub, MICC (formerly G-Mex) and Factory HQ. Most club-enthusiasts or home-bred Mancunians will already know the story and could possibly have visited when the tour took place in March this year before a screening of 24 Hour Party People at The Cornerhouse, but it's a fitting gift to a time Manchester is oh so proud of.
It begins on 19/6/2010 (tomorrow) and continues for a fair few weeks. Enough time to dedicate some time. More info here.
Peace.
