After Party with Dave Haslam & Guests


This years Vintage by the Sea after party brings Britain’s distinctive dance culture and dj history to the fore, paying respect to our rich club culture and the djs that shaped it. Dave Haslam DJ-ed over 450 times at the Hacienda, including the last ever night its doors opened to the public; June 28th 1997. A welcome return to Vintage by the Sea Festival, he describes his eclectic dancefloor-filling philosophy as “playing the best records ever made one after the other”. Vintage by the Sea's, ‘Little Big-Top', in the shadow of the Midland Hotel, takes Morecambe into the small hours with a musical journey warming up with funk, soul, disco to a crescendo of classic & acid house. Line Up: Dave Haslam, Wayne Hemingway MBE, Paul Thornton, Shaun Foran, Paul Harwood
