Nite School presents... GAY PAWN: Restocked, with Holly Lester, Skippy, Ruadh, David James

Thought reducing their former home in the Stretford Arndale to rubble would stop the UK’s premier late-nite pawnbrokers from running their dodgy little afterparty operation at this year’s Stretford Pride?

THINK AGAIN, BABY.

GAY PAWN is back, RESTOCKED and operating from a new, INTIMATE premises.

The Brokers return to their shapeshifting record store-cum-club, Fountain Records, with a briefcase full of the finest queer wares available locally and from across the Irish Sea.

From 8pm until well into the early hours, you can expect red-hot, steamy fire sale of queer hedonism as Fountain is transformed from its daytime form in to something more unhinged...

-----------------------------------------------------------

As always, expect a soundtrack from across the club spectrum, featuring the delightful:

HOLLY LESTER

Hailing from rural N.Ireland but forged in Manchester and the NW dance scene, Holly Lester has gone from playing institutions including Shine, Chibuku and The Warehouse Project to commanding dancefloors across Europe and beyond. Her sets bring raw analogue house into contact with dreamy trance, swirling breakbeats, early French house and forgotten Detroit pressure, all driven by a distinctive percussive snap. Away from the booth, she runs the Duality Trax and Terrazzo labels and co-founded Free The Night, campaigning for positive change within NI's nightlife.

+ NITE SCHOOL RESIDENTS...

SKIPPY

Nite School's resident marsupial brings her characteristic charged club sound, with bags of italo, prog, breaks & electro leaning flavours. Serious spring in her (and, by extension, your) step.

RUADH

Cork-born selector and Nite School mainstay, with an instinctive feel for exactly what the dancefloor needs & a sound palette that is never restricted by genre.

DAVID JAMES

A vinyl obsessive dealing in tough house, euphoric rave, biblical vocals and precisely-timed golden-era trance curveballs.

-----------------------------------------------------------

Set inside the only record store-cum-pawnbrokers that we know of that flogs 24-carat gold butt plugs alongside gold rings suitable for every appendage.
