Whilst friends and family across the UK dust off the deck chairs and prep the cucumber sandwiches, Kimpton Clocktower Hotel are throwing their own street party celebration with a difference from The Refuge’s Terrace on Friday 3rd June to celebrate the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee in royal style.
In true Refuge style, the Jubilee Street Party will showcase a diverse range of up-and-coming talent alongside established names from around Manchester playing music with a tongue-in-cheek nod to the royal family from 2pm-10pm.
Kicking the festivities off is a collective of sisters who spin all killers and no fillers, Eves’Drop Collective. Multi-faceted vocalist Yemi Bolatiwa & The Soul Carousel, as heard on BBC Introducing Manchester and BBC 1Xtra, take the 3:30pm and 5pm slot to energise the crowds with a set full of hands in the air, feel good anthems.
A stick of dynamite in the DJ booth, Ms. Puerto Rico will be on the decks from 4.15pm, guaranteed to bring energy and bone-shakin’ bass lines to get you dancing. DJ collectives Lovescene and 2 Left Feet will also make an appearance spinning irresistible sounds from around the globe, whilst well-respected Reggae DJ, UK Hip Hop pioneer and producer Mikey D.O.N. will keep the tunes coming on the Terrace until close at 10pm when the party continues within The Refuge.
