Tickets are now on sale for DJ Pete
Orme's gig at the North Star on May 7th.
Pete was a member in early nineties rave act Awesome 3, who alongside
Altern8, K-Klass and the Prodigy took rave music from the warehouses into
the charts.
Pete will be taking an eclectic
selection of vinyl with him and promises
everything from rave anthems to Hacienda classics.
With Gatecrasher up in Shetland the following week we are selling these tickets at a
lowly £6!
Talking of Gatecrasher......
It says a lot about how far the North Star has come in the last year when
you have a superclub like Gatecrasher enquiring about using the place!!
The headlining DJ is Les Hemstock who will be more than ably supported by
our own John Henry and DJ Alex.
There will also be a production engineer up from Gatecrasher who will be
erecting Crasher decor in the North Star. The lighting spec is far
superior than ever before with DVD players and laser lights being brought in to
ensure that the atmosphere is very much as a Gatecrasher gig should be.
Tickets are £18 and are on sale at Mooney's from Monday 25th April.
