'End of an era' as Clint Boon and fans say emotional goodbye with nightclub closing party

Fond memories have been flooding in as Clint Boon prepared to close the curtain on legendary Manchester nightclub South. On Friday the DJ, musician and radio presenter announced the sad news that the King Street venue was to close its doors after one final party this weekend after 27 years entertaining the city's masses.

The Manc music icon and the club's famous resident DJ announced on his social media: "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."

He went on to say: "South has been my second home for well over 20 years and it’s been a massive part of the Boon family’s journey. Please join us on Saturday for our closing night. Needless to say, it’ll be a big send off and probably an emotional one! Lotsa love."
