Balearic institution Aficionado has outlived previous homes across the city from Kro2 to ArchBar, and is now settled at Electrik in Chorlton, where their Sunday sessions attract a crowd of devoted, bearded regulars. Long-lived Manchester tastemakers, Jason Boardman and Moonboots spin vinyl-only selections from Vangelis to Azymuth, but don’t be surprised to hear unexpected, sun-drenched gems from Wham or Chris Rea later on. For a taster, check out this free Aficionado mix from the last Bank Holiday special.

Sun 26 Aug, Electrik, 559 Wilbraham Rd, Chorlton M21 0AE. Tel: 0161 881 3315, 7pm – 1am, FREE www.electrikbar.co.uk
