Sasha started DJing with him and, when Jon was too busy to play a gig, taking his place. “It all came from there,” says Sasha.

Generations of indie-ravers have found inspiration from the pioneers and maintained the creative spirit of those Hacienda moments when electronic dance music fed off and into guitar music. I’m talking about the emergence in the late 1990s of DJs like Erol Alkan and, more recently, the cross-fertilisation seen in the work of the magnificent Hot Chip.

Plenty of clubs and venues have inspired musicians. ‘Plastic People’, for example, played a huge part in the development of artists including Four Tet and Jamie xx. Here you can also access the Deansgate-Castlefield tram station where there are trams every 12 minutes connecting to all of the main tram routes in the Greater Manchester area.Gerald pursued some solo work too. He’d be in the Hacienda all evening and then up all night making tunes that would fit alongside what he’d heard in the club, particularly the spacey, early Detroit house being played by Jon Dasilva who was resident at the Hacienda’s ‘Hot’ night. Space Face’ was released by a major label, but Sub Sub then signed to Rob’s Records, founded by Rob Gretton, a director of Factory Records, and one of the key decision-makers at the Hacienda (Gretton ran Rob’s Records from an office above the club). This commercially successful 1993 release features Melanie Williams.

House music was still underground – there were some commercial hits, but outside of specialist shows the best music was still only being heard in a few clubs. 808 State weren’t eyeing the charts, they had a more specific aim; to get the record played at the club. It was the be-all and end-all. According to Graham Massey, ”If you didn’t get it on at the Hacienda, it was a disaster”. By October 1987 he’d taught himself to DJ and had a Wednesday night residency at the Hacienda. His influence on music since – especially in France – is incalculable. Haçienda Classical is joined next July by US house pioneers Roger Sanchez and Todd Terry who alongside Peter Hook who comprise the line up of DJ’s for the event. It was a sign of how fertile the Hacienda scene was that Elliot’s evolution from being a young Hacienda pot-collector to DJing and recording, culminated in him taking over DJ duties in the Hacienda’s main room in 1997. He was playing in the main room of the club on what turned out to be the last night – June 28th 1997. His last record was the Salt City Orchestra remix of ‘Post Modern Sleaze’ by Sneaker Pimps.Bars are serving a range of alcoholic beverages and soft drinks, plus a gin bar and prosecco bar on the upper hill area above the stadium. For those unfamiliar with the area, there are also a host of restaurants, bars and pubs along Liverpool Road on the way into Castlefield, as well as the popular bars and restaurants on and around Castle Street in the heart of Castlefield. Weather forecast Castlefield Bowl is located on Rice Street in Castlefield, postcode M3 4JR, and is just on the edge of the city centre off Deansgate.

It's about a five minute walk from Castlefield Bowl to the main line train station at Deansgate. At present, there hasn’t been any further rail strikes announced that may disrupt services.The NCP Manchester Central next to Bridgewater Hall car park is also nearby, with 643 spaces. For sat navs the postcode is M15 4PS. We are looking at some decent weather for the return of the Hacienda Classical this year. Current forecasts are saying sunshine or cloud for most of Friday evening which is just what you'll want to hear if you're heading down to the open-air Castelfield Bowl. It's always a special kind of night when Hacienda Classical is in town. Now in its sixth year performing at Castlefield Bowl's Sounds of the City series, there's also the rather special 40th anniversary of Manchester's iconic superclub to celebrate as well. A hip hop-influenced crew, including Martin Price from the Eastern Bloc record shop, and two of his customers (and Hacienda regulars) – Gerald Simpson and Graham Massey – began making music as the Hit Squad.
