Hacienda Video Tour, Manchester England

This was filmed in March of 1997 during the day. We were fortunate enough to get the grand tour. Hope you enjoy and share my enthusiasm in the video! This is a scaled down version of an hour long video. Check out my Dry Bar video as well.

Wow! I just thought I could contribute to the glory of the place. Calm down a little.

Fucking Appts now!!! grrrrrrrrr

The Hacienda must be RE built

[scoop909]

I swear to god, the moment those appartments go on sale again i am going to start a Hacienda:FAC51 fund, where fans can all pledge money to buy it! The people will own the former Madchester revolutionary super club and it will be all about the music again! If you or anyone hears of it going up for sale before i do then let me know! Let the fun begin!!

@scoop909 Im in for that!!! :) BRING IT BACK!!!

[TheFederalDrugs]

Yeah, if I won a gazillion on the Lottery I would rebuild the Hacienda. Pay off all the people who live there, get it back up with the original intention in place; club, live venue, art space, theatre. cafe, bar....It was a crime such an influential space was taken down. And, purely cynically, it would be a tourist attraction- although you would want tourists to experience a real Hac version as opposed to a retro one..and as for 32 longyeras...he's right; all clubs have knobs, all have bad days.

Hacienda was all about great DJ's who played great music, ruined by small minded thugs, drug dealers and bad mismanagement. 88 was the time to be there, by 91 onwards it was a hell hole infiltrated by the gangsters of salford and cheetham hill.

A sweet dream that turned sour.

Very cool. Thanks for posting!

Wow, this film brings back memories! I used to go there a lot. My band played there a few times too - on that very stage.

One time in particular was the finals of Tony Wilson's Battle of the Bands'. We actually won!!! I recall on that evening The Happy Mondays came last.

My Mum (age 68) mentioned a few months ago, that she'd been to The Hacienda - I said " no way!! You must be mistaken." But she insisted. I had totally forgotten that she was in the audience at the Battle of the Bands event.

I was there at it's beginning ..... & for many years after ....saw Madonna when she was a nobody .... am glad to not have been there at the end RIP. Long live Manchester
