Slime, Crowbar, Soak: Phase One launches brand new club nights ahead of Freshers in Liverpool

Liverpool is an incredible student city, and you don’t even need to be one to know that.

Year on year the numbers of students coming to Merseyside seems to grow, and with them they bring fresh ideas, vibrancy, and hunger for a good time.

The city’s music scene thrives most during the student months, and there’s no doubt venues across Liverpool will be waiting eagerly for their arrival, or return.

Bands, fans, and perhaps even the odd student journalist will flock to these musical stomping grounds to get a bit of the action, and each individual to add to it.

LJMU, University of Liverpool, Liverpool Hope, LIPA and Edge Hill students head into town from any which way to become part of it all. The never-before-seen land of complete and utter chaos in the name of music.

New and returning students will begin to arrive the city this weekend and one of the city’s most popular music venues has launched three new club nights to greet them.

Phase One on Seel Street has transformed from The Jac‘s sister venue to a key space in its own right and the home of our Deep Cuts nights (next one October 3).

Now it’s turning its hand to running a selection of new nights in nearby venues.

Liverpool has, of course, been host to some of the countries most revered club nights, from Cream to Chibuku to 303, and the iconic nights at Quadrant Park.

These massive megalithic nights all started somewhere, bubbling away under the surface becoming the place to be.

So with Freshers fast approaching, lets take a look at some of the city’s brand new offerings from Phase One and beyond.
