The man that put the Mad into Madchester will be joining Step On and Canvas events for "Manc 88-94" celebrating all things Madchester & The Hacienda. Our resident DJ's will be bringing you all the timeless classics that defined an era with BEZ delivering on all things freaky dancing until the early hours!
Is there a more fitting venue than Oxford Art Factory main room? We don't think so...
/////////////// BEZ ///////////////
BEZ is a band member of Manchester rock band Happy Mondays, having been invited in by lead singer Shaun Ryder shortly after the band was formed. He is well known for his bizarre style of dancing, and use of the maracas.
/////////////// BACKGROUND ///////////////
The Hacienda in Manchester, circa 1988, was a special place. A convergence of post-modern architecture, cutting edge music, out there youth culture, Factory Records (arguably the best record label of the decade), the greatest bands for more decades to come, including New Order, The Happy Mondays and The Stone Roses, and three DJ's that "pissed petrol on the fire" (A.H.Wilson), soundtracking the whole affair with a freshness of attitude that launched many, many clubs and even more DJ's. You've read the books, seen the films, bought the albums, and even, yes, worn the T shirts. A great time was had by all, clearly...
