New Haçienda documentary to debut next month
By Chris Cooke | Published on Monday 27 July 2015
A new documentary about legendary Manchester club the Haçienda is set to debut at a charity event at the city’s Royal Northern College Of Music on 5 Aug.
Liam Gallagher, Peter Hook, Clint Boon and former Haçienda DJs Graeme Park, Mike Pickering and Dave Haslam all feature in the film, recalling the role the venue had on the city’s music community of the day.
Director Chris Hughes told the Manchester Evening News last week: “I went to the club a few times but I was never a regular [because] I was mainly an indie kid back then. But I’m fascinated by music culture”.
Making the film in aid of charity helped him get together the people he needed to make the venture happen, he adds, saying: “The club’s story has been well told and all the people who have helped me out wouldn’t have done so if this wasn’t for charity. But, you know, people get very misty eyed when I asked the question: ‘What made The Haçienda so special?’. It’s like I’m taking them back to the best night of their lives”.
