South is Manchester’s original underground basement dive club… and proud of it. Launched by Paul Cons the promotions manager of the Hacienda, South became a kickback from Gunchester and the violence surrounding the Hacienda at the time. Created as an antidote to the superclub… a tiny dive club… dark and deliberately underground.
South launched seminal nights including The Glory Hole, Rinky Dink and Board which featured an in-club skateboard ramp, but the club really hit home with The Rock+Roll Bar and later Clint Boon’s Disco Rescue - a clubnight without pretension where you didn’t have to be scared to party.
South is back… Redesigned by Ben Kelly the original designer of the Hacienda, with a huge soundsystem from our friends at Funktion One. South continues to throw nights and cutting edge parties at the forefront of the industry.
