A NEW club night which promises "upbeat, camp tunes and an inclusive ethos" will be taking place at Saks Underground on Good Friday.

"Everyone is invited" to High Tide, the brainchild of Leigh based party-throwers Ben Thompson and Simon Swift, who will be DJing on the night along with Sundown Arts producers Jo Overfield and Ray Morgan.

"We moved from London to Leigh about ten years ago," says Ben. "Since then we’ve been to some brilliant local nights like Middle Aged Spread, Sundown Arts and Secret Supper Club... we knew a lot of people making the effort to make stuff happen locally and wanted to do something ourselves.

"We wanted an opportunity to play the sort of music we like to play at parties, heavy on the 80s and 90s pop, TV theme tunes – a lot of Pointer Sisters. And I thought, ‘There’s got to be an audience for that, right?’"

The doors will open to guests at 9pm on Friday March 30 and the dancing will go on until the early hours, encapsulating that "Bank Holiday weekend feel".

"It's been really fun making poster and flyers and asking for them to be put in shop windows to advertise it, spending ridiculous amounts of time putting together a set list, which keeps changing hour by hour" says Simon.

"We'll be playing an upbeat, often quite camp mix of music," Ben chimes in, "from Erasure to Kate Bush, Katy Perry to David Bowie, Europop and disco."

Saks Underground is in Clifftown Road.

The party starts at 9pm until late.

Entry costs £5 on the door.
