There will be DJs filling in between sets, names TBC. Last gig sold out so DON'T MISS OUT!

Its back! The tastiest night in the North yes, Its All Gravy returns and this time weve got one of the juiciest DJs ever Mr JUSTIN ROBERTSON at the helm, alongside Manchester maestros MASSEY and DJ HELEN. These three top notch spinners will be serving up an extra-rich dollop of eclectic house and disco with a delicious acid-house tang - guaranteed to get you slavering on the dancefloor. JUSTIN ROBERTSON Has remained at the cutting edge of showbiz for 35 years. A DJ, producer, broadcaster, visual artist, and author, his career has been driven by an unrelenting passion and constant evolution. Starting out at Manchesters Eastern Bloc records in the late '80s, Justin was a pivotal figure in the city's acid house scene. While studying philosophy, he became immersed in club culture, co-promoting legendary nights like Spice and Most Excellentlaunchpads for acts like the Chemical Brothers. His eclectic DJ sets and remixes for artists like Björk, Erasure, and Talk Talk soon gained global attention. With his genre-blurring band Lionrock, Justin scored Top 40 hits, appeared on Top of the Pops, and toured with Cocteau Twins, fusing dub, psychedelia, and '60s film soundtracks. Never one to sit still, he went on to create projects like Revtone, the Deadstock 33s, and his latest, Five Green Moonswhose 2024 debut Moon 1 was widely acclaimed. Justin continues to remix a wide range of artistsfrom New Order to Justiceand collaborates regularly with names like Daniel Avery and Brix Smith. On Soho Radio, he presents two hit shows: The Rotating Institute (electronic sounds) and The Temple of Wonders (a global musical journey). Beyond music, Justin is an accomplished visual artist with sold-out exhibitions across Europe, and collaborations with the Tate and Verdant brewery. His work has even appeared at the Saatchi Gallery and Tate Modern. His debut novel, The Tangle (2021), a Times-recommended folk horror-sci-fi hybrid, has been optioned for TV. He continues to appear at literary events and has just released his new book The Trial of Jonah with Velocity Press, and you can buy a combo ticket for the night and pick up your signed copy! From scoring films to designing artful t-shirts, Justins creativity knows no bounds. A true polymath, he lives in Surrey with Harry the dog and a vast collection of hats. Enjoy the trip. MASSEY Born in Bolton...based in Stockport... is very much an integral stalwart of Manchesters underground electronic music scene where he is immersed in music on a daily basis and juggles multiple roles from producer, engineer, remixer, promoter, booker, programmer, radio host, A&R & tea boy (obvs). He runs his own label Sprechen and oversees an A&R/label manager role for the legendary Paper Recordings as well being a resident at Manchesters Sticky Heat alongside running a whole manner of club, music & arts related events via Sprechen. His DJ sets jump genres from house to disco, Italo, jolly techno to boogie & weird Stuff alongside his own productions & remixes which have entertained dancers at gatherings not only at clubs and festivals in the UK, but also across across Europe at the likes of Barbarellas Discotheque & for Frekuensi Minor in Jakarta. He has DJ'd alongside the likes of Lindstrøm, Optima, Cynthie, Justin Robertson, Nancy Noise, Rex the Dog, Horse Meat Disco, Hifi Sean, Raw Silk & Awesome Tapes From Africa and Sean Johnston/Hardway Bros at the seminal night ALFOS which Sprechen promotes in Manchester. More recently her has developed Sprechen into being more than just a record label and to be more a hub to nurture new & emerging creatives and where he can assist and mentor in the final mix & engineering stage of music production. His latest venture has been 'The Thief Of Time', a cross genre studio project which focuses on music away from the clubs and is heavily influenced by a life lived through the 80's with sounds, stylings, aesthetics & narratives all taking place in the semi autobiographical productions. DJ HELEN Has been a mainstay on the Manchester club scene for two decades - lighting up dancefloors with her electric sets that span everything from pop, disco and house to rave, hardcore and jungle. In 2024, Helen collaborated with Orbital, David Holmes and Mike Garry to release the hugely successful Tonight In Belfast played on BBC Radio 1, 2 and 6 and live as part of Orbitals recent tour of the UK. A regular at festivals and clubs up and down the country, she is a resident at highly-regarded Mancunian club nights Space Cassette and Undus Mundus, while also a member of the HENGE DJ SUPERCREW - a collective of selectors that includes members of the immensely-popular, prog-rave alien band HENGE. Helen is also the resident DJ at family-friendly events Our Kids Social playing across the North-West and beyond.

An art workshop aimed at three to six year olds who want to explore PRINTING in an open and child-led way. It's going to be messy, creative and about the process, not just the end result.

The workshop will begin with a circle time introducing the theme of PRINTING. This will involve a story and encourage the children to share their knowledge and become more comfortable with the group. We will have three spaces in the workshop - an independent area, a collaborative piece and a space to learn a skill with one adult. The workshop will last an hour and a half. Hope to see you there! IMPORTANT INFORMATION: Adults will be responsible for their children throughout the workshop, however you are more than welcome to sit at a nearby table.
