The Pen and Pencil, who are well known for their imaginative take on brunch and signature twists on classic cocktails, have plenty of exciting events coming up.

Lined up for September, events at The Pen and Pencil include:

SPECIAL EVENTS

Dave Haslam, Chad Jackson & David Dunne Live – Saturday 15th September

Dave Haslam the Haçienda legend will be returning and taking over The Pen and Pencil decks on Saturday 15th of September, with support coming from Chad Jackson (Haçienda) AND David Dunne (Triple Dee).

Dave Haslam DJ’d over 450 times at the Haçienda throughout the ‘Madchester’ years in the 80s. His open-minded, ground-breaking DJing became the focus for Madchester’s indie dance fraternity. Ian Brown, Tim Burgess, Justin Roberton and the Chemical Brothers have all credited Haslam as an inspiration. He describes his DJing philosophy as “playing the best records ever made, one after the other” and has been nicknamed “the man with golden ears.”

Chad Jackson has been a Music Producer, DJ and Music Industry Educator for the last 30 years. Originally from Manchester, where he held a residency at the legendary Haçienda club at the height of its prominence.

David Dunne (Triple Dee) is a remixer, producer, DJ and musician with his radio show now on over 55 stations around the world. He was resident at Dry Bar, the Hac’s sister bar, from 1992-1997 and played at the Hacienda, over 30 times.

The event starts at 8pm and entry is free.

The Pen & Pencil’s Third Birthday Bash – Saturday 29th September

It’s The Pen and Pencil’s 3rd birthday this September. And to celebrate they will be throwing a massive birthday bash with disco heavy weight The Reflex, and support from Reeta, Marco Giannini and Tom Malam.

The Reflex will be spinning classic and modern day heat for an incredible birthday celebration. Fascinated by the remix from an early age, London-based French native Nicolas Laugier, aka The Reflex, takes his cue from the first wave of disco remixers by using only the original sounds from the master tapes (or stems) to breathe new life into soul, pop and disco classics. Imaginative arrangements, boxfresh sonics and intricate editing make The Reflex Revisions rocket fuel for every DJ set. Having clearly established himself as one of the best in the remix field, now is the time to sit up and take notice of this French DJ / producer doing it his way.

Radio DJ at Gravity Manchester and the newest member of the Lost in Music family after winning the Lost in Music DJ Competition, Reeta, couples cutting edge house tracks with classic disco and tracks she refers to as hidden gems. Followed by Marco Gianna, broadcaster on MCR Live and former resident DJ at Sankeys Soap and the Warehouse Project, along with one of our favourite Manchester based DJs playing funk, Soul, disco & laid back beats.

There’s also opportunities to win a number of prizes, £5 birthday cocktails and the opportunity to get glittered up at the bar by a professional makeup artist!

The event runs from 8pm-2am and is free entry.
