On Friday 29th November 2019 Haçienda Classical returned to Dubai Opera to perform our 2019 set for the last time, 12 months after we first performed here. Once again we played to a packed house with a superb atmosphere. Dubai Opera really is a magnificent venue and the wonderful crowd didn't let us down.
Straight after the show DJ Rae and I played some tunes at the official after party and you can listen to my DJ set here (subscription required): Haçienda Classical After Party Dubai Opera 29NOV19

So that’s it for us this year. We’ve had some incredible shows including the Isle Of Wight Festival, Depot Mayfield, Castlefield Bowl, the Royal Albert Hall and more. A massive thank you to the Manchester Camerata, conductor Tim Crooks, Peter Hook, the AMC Gospel Choir, vocalists Rae Hall, Yvonne Shelton and Melanie Williams as well as latin percussionist Chris Cruiks and various guests for making 2019 another successful and exciting year for Haçienda Classical, our fourth year in a row.

I’m already excited about 2020 when we will return with a new set for the new year. We’ve already announced that we’ll be back at Castlefield Bowl in Manchester on Saturday 11th July and more dates will be announced soon.

Thank to everyone who has supported us in our journey which continues soon. I’m already working on the new set which will feature some of the biggest tunes of the past four years, the return of some tunes that we haven’t performed for a while as well as some new ones too.
Without your love and support we wouldn’t be able to do what we do and I look forward to seeing your smiling, happy faces and your arms in the air next year.
