Legendary Manchester nightclub South is to close after one final party this weekend after 27 years entertaining the city's masses. The shock closure was announced on Twitter by one of the club's most famous resident DJs - Manc music icon Clint Boon.
Clint has played on Saturday nights at the South King Street venue for over 20 years with his famous Boon Army following, Disco Rescue and Forever club nights. Inspiral Carpets star Clint broke the news of the closure on his Twitter on Thursday afternoon to the dismay of fans.
He said: "A message that I never hoped I’d have to post. My night this Saturday at South will be the club’s closing night. Due to issues beyond our control, (myself, the management and the owners), Manchester will lose one of its greatest nightclubs of all time."
