New central Manchester club Lazy Lizard has the remedy for your January blues with a programme of events that will keep the party spirit going well into 2018. The Ibizan-inspired concept bar opened in December with a series of nights featuring legends of the Balearics and is set to continue with some big names from the white isle on the decks this month. Starting the new year with a bang, there are beach-club vibes at a Ministry of Sound NYE recovery party on Friday, settling into something a little more disco at Saturday’s Soul Heaven night.

Fri 5 Jan: Ministry of Sound NYE recovery party with Steeve Valverde and Disco Kid
Kicking off the first Friday in January, Lazy Lizard host a Ministry of sound NYE recovery party. With resident DJs to bring the best Ibizan beats, it’s less a ‘recovery’ from NYE and more a continuation of the celebration. Sankey’s Disco Kid and Steeve Valverde of Es paradis will be there to fill the room with dance classics and Ibizan sunshine to combat the Manchester mizzle.

Sat 6 Jan: Soul Heaven with Grant Nelson
Everyone knows soul and house are a match made in heaven, and Soul Heaven is out to prove it. House music legend Grant Nelson guest DJs for one night only, bringing some disco infused beats that will get you dancing. Nicknamed ‘the Godfather of garage’ Nelson is credited with kicking off the UK garage scene of the 90s and has so many hits under his belt, he keeps dropping them.

Fri 5 – Sat 6 Jan, Lazy Lizard, The Printworks, 27 Withy Grove, Manchester M4 2BS. Tel: 0161 806 0180, www.lazylizardmanchester.com
