Highly recommended event taking place this Saturday, 30th August at Islington Mill, Salford.

There’s no charge for attending the daytime sessions then it’s a measly £6 for the evening party which kicks off from 10pm. Get your tickets from Fat City, Piccadilly Records or online at Quay Tickets.

Here’s the spiel:

Manchester District Music Archive present a special event at Islington Mill in Salford, to celebrate Manchester’s Electro-Funk and B Boy heritage. Through a mixture of talks, Q and A’s, screenings, and, of course, dancing, this event will attempt to tell the story of the city’s early ‘80s Electro-Funk scene, explaining how it sowed the seeds for subsequent developments as the decade unfolded.

Hosted by Greg Wilson, ‘Electrospective’ welcomes some of the great DJ’s of Pre-Rave Manchester - Hewan Clarke, Colin Curtis, Chad Jackson and Mike Shaft, all titans of the turntables with truly legendary status in Manchester and beyond.

For detailed information on this event including discussion and set timings visit the Electrospective Facebook Group.
