November - Manchester: Konspiracy

Chris Nelson - Who is seen as a leading light on the blossoming northern scene, and as part of the local "Jam MC's" collective, toured with The Happy Mondays on their first World Tour and spun tunes at most of the infamous Blackburn parties, launches "Konspiracy" at the old "Pips" club [ a small tardis-like venue with several dancefloors and eight bars ] in Fennel Street, City of Manchester.

 

Now Mancunians will have another place to strut their stuff as Chris and his team have opened their club to be a viable alternative to Mike Pickering's "Nude" club at the Haçienda. With the customary lively atmosphere and full-houses since opening the venue, the team at Konspiracy will start to have the same worrying issues as it's neighbourly predecessors as outside influences start to surface inside their club.
