Back To Mo's - Satchmo's Xmas Party!

Back To Mo's are taking over The Underground in Hanley on Saturday 12 December, their annual Christmas party and a mini Satchmo's reunion for the venue's regulars. The night is billed as a 'Back In The Day & Blue Collar Disco Christmas party' and described as the most talked about reunion of the year. It's a proper old-school dance floor night, the kind that brings together a crowd that's been around the scene for a while.

Behind the decks are original residents Pete, Lee and Matt, with Carl Brown on support. Having the three of them back together is the main draw here, and they'll be playing the sort of records that defined the Satchmo's era. It's a reunion in the truest sense, aimed at the regulars who remember the original nights and want to see the old guard back in the booth for one more run before the year closes.

The Underground has put on some big nights over the last few years, with the likes of Crazy P and Horse Meat Disco passing through, so the room is well-acquainted with this kind of dance floor. This one, though, is less about the guest list and more about the people who've been part of the furniture around here for years.

It runs from 20:00 until 02:00, so there's plenty of time to settle in and dance through the night. Tickets start from £10, and it's strictly over-18s, so make sure you've got photo ID on you when you head to the door. The Underground is at 2 Morley Street, Hanley, ST1 4LS.
