Sacha Lord’s acclaimed book, Tales from the Dancefloor, is out now!
Warmly described by The Times as 'rip-roaring', and with ‘enjoyable tales of Manchester clubbing’ by The Guardian, the book tracks the meteoric rise of Manchester’s house music scene over the past three decades.
Published through HarperNorth, the book reveals behind-the-scenes accounts of Sacha's enormous contribution to nightlife in the city, from his club nights at The Haçienda, Paradise Factory and Sankeys, to the birth of Parklife and The Warehouse Project, named the world's favourite nightclub, beating the likes of Pacha and Ushuaïa.
'Tales From The Dancefloor’ has already been named Amazon's number one best seller for dance music from pre-orders alone.
Speaking about the book, Sacha Lord said:
“I’ve been shot at in a drive-by shooting, bundled into a car by gangsters and had death threats. I’ve been sued and broke, I’ve had to deal with an army of rats who were high on cocaine, had £130,000 stolen in an armed robbery and been targeted by a Romanian organised crime gang.
“I’ve been lucky to have been in the eye of the storm of a musical and cultural revolution, to have some of the most incredible life-affirming experiences, to meet most of my musical heroes and to have thrown some of the biggest parties this country has ever seen. This book will reveal everything which happened behind the scenes, the good, the bad and the ugly.”
‘Tales From The Dancefloor’ is co-authored with best-selling author Luke Bainbridge and has been published by HarperNorth, an imprint of HarperCollins Publishers.
