I wonder if this is anything to do with the Sankey's people?

THE WAREHOUSE PROJECT
October 6th – December 31st 2006
www.thewarehouseproject.com <http://www.thewarehouseproject.com>
Manchester UK
“For twelve weeks this city is ours”
We can now reveal the venue and the majority of the night time line-ups for
Manchester’s most ambitious music experience yet. Between Friday 6th October
& Monday 1st January ‘The Warehouse Project’ will be taking over an
incredible warehouse space in Manchester’s city centre for what will be a
new twist to the festival and club/gig experience.
Things are hotting up now as Manchester gets ready for 12 weeks of warehouse
action. With the venue now revealed as The Old Brewery (formerly the
Boddingtons Brewery) one of Manchester's most iconic landmarks, its time to
start spreading the word. Everybody from Manchester knows this legendary
site, with its towering chimney peering out over the city, where they made
that legendary tonic for over 250 years. For three months we take a piece of
the cities most cherished heritage and catapult it into the twenty first
century. We couldn't possibly have asked for a more perfect backdrop for the
first Warehouse Project.
The site actually consists of two warehouses, One slightly larger than the
other. The larger of the two was where they actually used to make the beer
and was known as The Racking Hall, the other is the cold store where the
kegs were stored. We have named this one The Box. Most events will feature
both, however one or two special events, such as the eagerly anticipated 3
Chairs event, we felt a smaller more intimate vibe suited, so these will
just take place in The Box. We will be releasing pictures of the venues
online at thewarehouseproject.com over the next few days.
The moment it all kicks off has now actually been brought forward by 24hrs
so we can feature one of the most iconic bands of all time. The legendary
Public Enemy will be the first to headline the stage in The Racking Hall.
After this comes an onslaught of 25 events, each unique in terms of musical
direction and each unmissable in its own right. We've tried to make the
programme as eclectic as possible, with artists from all over the world
heading up the party and with us only having these twelve weeks to play with
we’ve gone all out to make it as special as it can be. There are still
several musical giants from whom we are still awaiting final confirmation,
and one or two that we have purposely held back for now. All additions to
the line-up will be announced in the coming weeks.
Its never been done quite like this before. Some people have been asking why
its only going on for these three months. The truth is that it will be
something that is here and then gone very quickly. While it lasts it will be
truly amazing and nobody will even have the chance to get bored of it. Since
the idea for the project was first revealed several months ago, the slogan
has been ‘For twelve weeks this city is ours...’ Manchester is back.
Now in October 2006 the Warehouse Project will help to inject some life back
into The Old Brewery renowned for the ‘Cream of Manchester’ by inviting the
cream of global dance music’s DJ, live acts and artists to stage a series of
individually themed club and gig nights from October 6th to the end of the
year.
