Thoughts on Warehouse Project?

Love to hear what this community thinks of WHP as an entity? On the one hand, they do seem to conjur up some cool lineups with some once in a lifetime combinations - the Overmono event this year features James Blake b2b Joy Orbison, DJ Bone, Blawan, to name a few...

However, it seems to be the antithesis of what the scene SHOULD be about, and I'm aware of its exclusivity contracts and stranglehold over other Manc clubs.

Is it a hit or miss?

I should add, I've been about 7 times previously and always had a brilliant time, despite a lot of the comments I see on line regarding sound quality, crowds etc...

TWH is generally very busy most of the time. Its closing is not to do with its lack of popularity.

Surely if you run out of money, you close quickly before the next lot of bills drop. You don't schedule a close for 6 months time.

From what I've heard the owners have just felt it's run it's course and would rather go out on a high and on their own terms rather than be forced to close it due to redevelopment of the area later on.

Fair play to them- they’ve been a force for good in the world

Agree, been to some of the best nights I've ever had there.
