Fact #165889
When:
Short story:
The first Hot night is held at The Hacienda club, Manchester, England, UK, Europe.
Full article:
Tony Wilson (co-owner, The Hacienda) : Paul Cons, our entertainments manager, had been to Ibiza the previous summer, and he had the idea to re-create the Ibiza scene, and bring in things like the swimming pool. It was wonderful. There was only maybe 200 people, but you could see by the look on the faces that it was happening.
Jimi Goodwin (frontman/bassist, Doves) : I went to the Hacienda one week, Thursday night, and it was the usual - it had been like that for years, it was an indie thing, really. Usually about 25 people in there, all wearing black. So I didn't bother going for years. Next time I went, it was about three years later, I went on a Wednesday night, their 'hot night,' and there's a swimming pool in there, and everyone's just fucking going ballistic to fucking Detroit techno.
Paul Cons : That night coincided with everyone being on ecstasy for the first time, and the whole Acid House thing. It was in those six weeks that it all took off.
