About this Event

Following on from the success of our joint birthday party with STRANGE DAZE, PROHIBITION are back to bring you another speak-easy inspired party! Join us for a night of 1920's inspired debauchery as we celebrate the end of the Summer term at one of Manchester's hottest underground venues JOSHUA BROOKS! ** FRIDAY 13TH JUNE ** 11pm - 4am LINE UP KEY LO JUST JESS EMMA CLAIR ALEX CARDWELL & JIMMY STUTTARD (Live Sax) NANOOK Jamie Berry blew the roof off our last event and we can not wait to get our next party started! What is Prohibition? Prohibition was started in March 2013 at The Nook, a small speak-easy style venue in the heart of Chorlton on the outskirts of Manchester. We had people dancing on the tables every month and 1 year later we have now moved our parties to the City Centre! We are all about the sounds of the 1920's & 30's with a modern twist... Vintage clobber is encouraged..think great gatsby!! Gentlemen polish your brogues, and don your trilbies and ladies dig out your very best flapper dresses and get ready to throw some vintage shapes on the dance floor as we party PROHIBITION style! Our DJ's - KEY LO After 10 years of spinning records with DR SICK NOTE, KEY LO is going it solo. Hold on to your hats as he is sure to blow the roof off the Zombie Shack with his bass heavy swing! With a DJ CV that includes past gigs at Beatherder, Solfest & a Breaskpoll Nomination you are in for a treat! https://soundcloud.com/key_lo1 JUST JESS Making the journey from York we have one of West Yorkshire's heavy weight DJ's Just Jess.

Over that time we've seen him play across the board venues from free parties to the mighty Glade Festival. We've seen him play Jungle, to Techno, to House, to Downtempo - and everything in between!! For this event, the Strange Daze Sound System, and Chaos Mech Records honcho, will be donning waist-coat and mustache, and treating us to an extravaganza of Klezmer inspired Electro-Swing!!!!" http://www.mixcloud.com/chrisnanook1/ We think that JOSHUA BROOKS is the perfect venue for Prohibition, Just off Oxford Road Joshua Brooks have housed some of the best underground lineups in Manchester and we can not wait to add Prohibition to that list!
