    DYING TO BE DANCING 2nd – 4th September

    FRIDAY

    Trancelation Presents: The Residents

    trancelation

    Either trance is back en vogue or it never really went away, and was just bubbling under the surface ready to unleash itself on your ears again. Let’s face it, anything’s possible at the Blue Mountain Club. There’s a five am finish, there’s residents, there’s guests and there’s even a competition winner DJ.

    22:00 – 05:00 | Blue Mountain Club | From £3

    Paul Robbins of the Soulworks trio takes to the decks at the Old Market Assembly for a night of soul, funk, hip-hop, disco, house, garage, jazz, whatever else is in his record bag.  He’ll be joined by equally eclectic pals, making it ideal for those seeking some Friday night funk to soundtrack their sustainable and seasonable glass(es) of wine.

    21:00 – 01:00 | Old Market Assembly

    Beloved queer night DTYM returns The Phoenix for a Trans Pride Southwest fundraiser. Not only can you dance to indie and pop but your entire door fee goes towards helping the south west celebrate gender diversity. And because the promoters are so lovely, they do stress this night is LGBT and friends, because EVERYONE is welcome.

    21:00 – 02:00 | The Phoenix | £5
