ZOO
In 2009 Funk Events re-launched The Zoo night club in Manchester. Funk Events brief was to develop concepts, run and brand three weekly nights.
Funk Events developed and introduced 3 diverse nights that attracted different profiles of people.
Pandamonium
This night was followed the traditional student night format. Within 6 weeks the night had become the biggest Tuesday night in Manchester, with numbers reaching capacity on a regular basis.
Hullababoon
Saturday nights at the Zoo attracted a mixture of Manchester locals and Students. We wanted to keep in the theme of “Zoo” and its most successful night “Pandamonium” hence the name “Hullababoon” was used.
Zoo Fridays
Funk Events brought together four of Manchester’s underground music brands under the umbrella brand Zoo Friday.
- Drop the Mustard
- Tunes Your Nanna Might Like
- Squelch
- Naughty Panda
These brands hosted Zoo Fridays on a weekly rotation attracting niche crowds to the venue.
