00:00So we refurbed during COVID and came up kind of with a different design and where we wanted to go
00:05with it trying to hit a different crowd so that we weren't just relying on those saturday nights
00:10and having a bit of a kind of different people in different aged people in different genres in
00:15and then 18 months ago no two years ago two years ago in september two years ago we changed it to
00:21Walter and rebranded the full place and looked at then going on to live music and changing the feel
00:25of it that way so that involved a big refurb at the time yeah so what did you do um loads of new
00:32lights uh new mixing desks new microphones new stage dj box rear pulse all the seating just went
00:38all out really just so that people who were coming in weren't actually drunk so everything had to be
00:42tipped off yeah and more seating areas as well so that people could come in and rather than just
00:46coming in to be a nightclub and to dance you know they could sit and enjoy the music and have a glass
00:51of wine a bit earlier on and things like that so it kind of appealed to different types of people as
00:55well we've always kept our saturday night busy saturday nights running um but we've also got
01:00different bits of events that run now as well and so we have our mod 60s solo dj event once a month
01:07which is really well uh taken and we just use the top area for this as well so it's a a nice little
01:11space for it yeah um we have the soul event that's once a month as well as all on a sunday that's two
01:16till seven on a sunday again a range djs come in for that all on vinyl and we get people coming from all
01:21over for that as far as manchester coming on the train over from manchester um and then we have
01:26private hire as well so we do we've had quite a few weddings in kids parties we've got a dance
01:31event this weekend a celebration for an awards night birthday parties we've had a wake you know
01:38a full range and because we've now got the separating bits as well we can have the full
01:42venue or we can just have a smaller venue space which works really well yeah talk briefly about
01:47zach's big birthday bash yeah um gives a bit of background to that obviously going to be a very
01:51emotional night for yourselves and uh zach's family yeah yeah a bit of background too yeah
01:56well zach was a good friend of ours um like i said we're partying with butlings a couple months before
02:00he died he just died like out of the blue like no no warning signs no nothing just went to the
02:06barber to get his haircut and then suffered major trauma yeah they thought they thought it was a heart
02:11attack and um when they got into the hospital they realized that he'd had a tear in one of his arteries
02:16um and it they tried to operate i think they did two or three operations um and trying to you know
02:25seal seal things open to to help him survive but obviously it wasn't it wasn't enough and unfortunately
02:31when they started to bring him round they realized that nothing was working on its own and he was taken
02:36away from us absolutely terrible so the idea came about to put on a charity night yeah we had his wake
02:42here right and rather than wait turn into a party it stayed kind of awake yeah but he were a party guy
02:49and his wife carly loves a party and judge jules was his favorite dj so he said we'll try and get
02:54something on all the ticket money or go to go to charity and the 17th um of october is actually which
03:00would have been his 43rd birthday so we're like that's perfect and like johnny said his favorite dj was
03:06judge jules so like that's you you feel silly really because we feel like we should have done
03:11it when he was here yeah he's a cream dj really really well known trans dj and then matthew robinson
03:18he's a local hero from uh from burnley fusion brothers i think they're from burnley as well
03:23and jordan zach's best best mate and kieran's our resident dj
03:27so it's a proper lineup back yeah it's gonna be really good
