Inside the Hacienda... the club that shook Britain - as new BBC documentary prepares to air rare footage of Manchester superclub
It's the superclub that put Manchester on the world map - and now a new BBC film will take viewers on a trip back in time to when the Hacienda was the centre of the clubbing universe. The new documentary, to tie in with the 40th anniversary of the club first opening in Manchester, features rarely seen footage of some of the big stars who performed there, as well as the incredible story of how the Hacienda all came to exist.
For anyone who raved inside the vast former shipping warehouse, the BBC film will also screen for the first time an incredible virtual reality recreation of the iconic club interior, famously designed by Ben Kelly. Viewers will get to feel as if they are walking through the club once again with its legendary black and yellow stripes, bollards around the dancefloor and through the huge warehouse clubbing space.
Formerly a yacht warehouse, the Hacienda was first opened in Manchester by the Factory Records board of Rob Gretton, Tony Wilson, Alan Erasmus and Peter Saville with their band New Order back in May 1982. Having seen the vast warehouse clubs of New York City, the plan was to bring that aesthetic and vibe back to Manchester.
Happy Mondays star Shaun Ryder will speak vividly about that time in the film - and of how the band would party so hard they rarely went home "except for a shower". In the film he says: "Musically, it opened me up to everything." He also reveals that he'd "never danced in his life before the Hacienda" and how he still enjoys the Hacienda club nights held in recent years at the Warehouse Project.
