This is brilliant!I'm so glad Hooky and the others have resurected this as I always felt that it was a shame what happened with the Hacienda and Factory and Tony Wilson was/is a hero of mine.

I hope it takes off big time for them,I would love to go as I love manchester although I'm not meant to say that as I'm a scouser he he.

Great clubs,music,people and fashion etc in Manchester.Will defo be going to this just hope i don't get my head stoved in for being scouse he he.
