DJ's will need a driving licence! |
Sandbags,
camo-netting and even a tank have been drafted in to create a war-zone
atmosphere at the former Quay Bar.
But
Canteena isn't new to Manchester. The bar last appeared in 1999
in an army surplus tent next to Barca in Catalan Square.
Canteena will play host to some of the top DJ's who will spin their
discs inside half an ex-MOD jeep which has come over from Germany.
Canteena
DJs May/June 2004

sandbagged bar in Canteena |
Friday
28th May - Drunk Jukebox with John Locke and Elliot Eastwick.
Comedy Store manager Locke joins forces with Northern DJ Eastwick
to visit the far-reaching and often familiar parts of their record
collections, providing a fun and non too serious start to proceedings
at Canteena.
Saturday
29th May - Blowout. Blowout is a new Mancunian success story.
A club night boasting live band performance at every event, Blowout
has captured the imagination of a legion of disillusioned club and
gig goers over the last twelve months and has played host to artists
such as Bobby Conn, Misty Dixon, John Stammers, Aidan Smith, Nine
Black Alps and Rebelski. The full team of Blowout DJs will be at
Canteena.
Sunday
30th May - Red Sundays with original Canteena resident John
Stammers and special guests. At least some of the tremendous success
that Canteena experienced throughout its initial run in Castlefield
has to be attributed the one and only resident DJ John Stammers
who will be playing his own unique blend of folk, pop, hip hop,
soul, rock, funk.
