Last year saw us lose Sally, the matriarch of the Monastery family.
A legendary trailblazer of a promoter taking the Monastery from a small group of regular clubbers to an internationally renowned clubbing brand that would see the club become top of the listings in all major clubbing publications and even be voted 3rd best club in the world! The club featured on mainstream clubbing tv shows such as Club@Vision, radio shows featuring the club and a website that would get 1million hits a week as well as featuring tour nights from major record labels such as Tidy Trax/ Tripoli Trax and Nukleuz Records. Her tireless efforts to keep The Monastery alive payed off in 2009 with a hugely successful reunion event packing pure nightclub with over 800 clubbers all eager to relive that unrivaled Monastery atmosphere. It was clear The Monastery was back! Since 2009 we have continued to run successful events with clubbers still coming from all over the UK to escape from the stress of the world and just let go in that safe and electric environment amongst friends of old and new, all there for one thing only, the music!
So here we go again for the final time, join us as the Monastery prepares to say goodbye to our beloved Sally in true Monastery style!
We give you not 1 but 2 rocking Monastery dancefloors! 11 DJs that have all provided you, The Monastery faithful with all you need to go wild in the way that only you know how.
MOVE-
Starting us off in move is a Lady who is no stranger to the hallowed Monastery decks and has never failed to get Monastery off to a cracking start Lil Vik!
Taking us up a notch and preparing us for the headliner are Mike Ahmet b2b Fierce DJs These lads seriously know how to rock The Monastery and we can’t wait for you all to see them Join forces in a Monastery first b2b set!
Headlining for us in Move we have the epic MARK EG! Mark needs no introduction to The Monastery faithful, having played for us many times, we all know just how mad things get when he’s in the house with us but this time he will also be celebrating his Birthday with us! Happy Birthday Mark.
And last but by no means least, closing the show in Move we have Kev ‘Smoothound’ Walters. A Monastery legend who has taken us all to the top more times than we care to imagine, we couldn’t think of a better way to finish than with his expert hands working the 1210s.
BOMBA-
BOMBA is brought to you by none other than the Future Sound DJs a lineup not seen since the Church and one that will make for a stomping night.
Kicking us off we have Chris Shortland, no stranger to warming things up for The Monastery in the church, so we know he will get things going nicely.
Now we have Deny back with us on the 1210s. Deny always provides The Monastery with that great level of bouncy madness mixed with awesome technical ability which is wicked every time.
Next up we have a man that Sally herself said knows The Monastery clubbers better than anyone. A long standing Monastery resident Dj and we all know there is something truly special in a Chris Blade set and it’s certainly not to be missed. Chris will be
Doing his thing, getting us ready for the Headliner coming next in BOMBA.
Back with us is headliner Jason Nawty, former 12inch Thumpers Artist and DJ and no stranger to The decks at The Monastery. Responsible for tracks we all know and love that have shaped hardhouse sets the world over for decades. Don’t cross the line Jason! Great to have you back with us.
Closing for us in BOMBA is none other than Moon. A Future Sound DJ that is no stranger to keeping The Monastery right up there till the end. He’s travelling all the way from Nottingham to play for us one last time and we truly grateful.
So there we have the lineup for what is set to be one hell of a party!
There will of course be the original Monastery UV backdrops to make the venue look and feel like home. There will be original Monastery visuals on both floors (including footage from the church!)
Original and exclusive Monastery Merchandise and much much more.
Function-one sound.
All proceeds from this the final Monastery event will be donated to Rowcroft Hospice that looked after Sally.
