Manchester

The Manto Millennium party was the largest gay event out side of London and what a night it was. Paradise Factory took over the Ritz in Manchester for their massive New Year's Eve Ballroom Blitz hosted by Galaxy 105’s Sister Marta and Pattsy Towers. The atmosphere was electric as the night counted down to the big final minute. When the last 30 seconds came, it was no other than Jeff Shore from countdown who appeared on the big screen, from his channel 4 set he and his clock counted it down to the big moment. Cannons, pyrotechnics, balloons, sparkly bits and plenty of roars of joy and excitement flung up into the air. 2000 had arrived and was delivered in true Manto group style.

On Saturday 20th May 2000 the club held their 7th birthday party. It was packed as usual with some of Manchester's sexiest boys and gorgeous girls all enjoying the fantastic buzzing atmosphere. The club was done out with some great decor specially for the event. Fragma also sung a set later in the evening, putting on a top performance despite a jumping CD.
