The Haçienda was a Manchester club and live music venue that remains associated with Factory Records, New Order and the rise of acid house in the UK. It closed its doors in 1997, and has since been commemorated with a number of international tours, mix CDs and compilations. Haçienda Classiçal is based on an event series of the same name, which saw the venue's former DJs Graeme Park and Mike Pickering playing club classics accompanied by the Manchester Camerata orchestra. It collects orchestral covers of foundational Haçienda tunes like "Blue Monday" by New Order, "Voodoo Ray" by A Guy Called Gerald, "Good Life" by Inner City and "Strings Of Life" by Derrick May. The compilation is executive produced by former New Order bassist Peter Hook together with producer Phil Murphy. Tracklist 01. T-Coy - Cariño 02. Ce Ce Rogers - Someday 03.

And Armand Van Helden's "U Don’t Know Me" wasn't released until 1998 - a year after the club closed. It's more likely that JohNick's "The Captain" (the instrumental foundation of "You Don't Know Me"), released in 1996, was on the turntables.

They performed Blue Monday at the Hacienda several times, the first time being a couple of months before the single had been released.

The source I'm referencing (wish I could remember what it is) refers to the 12" single. However, it seems highly unlikely that some DJ wouldn't have spun "Blue Monday" - either the original or a remix. Probably just some crap rumor.

DJs who played at the famous Manchester club, including Mike Pickering and Graeme Park, will play with local orchestra Manchester Camerata for three shows from April to July next year. The ‘Hacienda Classical’ concerts are overseen by Peter Hook, the former New Order bassist who ran the Hacienda with his ex-bandmates and now owns the rights to the Hacienda name. The news coincides with the release of a ‘Hacienda Classical’ album tomorrow and Channel 4 screening a documentary about the first run of concerts. Hacienda House Orchestra is on at 12.05am tonight (October 20). Songs covered at the concerts have included Armand Van Helden’s ‘You Don’t Know Me’, Rhythim Is Rhythim’s ‘Strings Of Life’ and A Guy Called Gerald’s ‘Voodoo Ray’. Hook told NME of the concerts: “When we did the first show at Castlefield Bowl, the promoter told me afterwards: ‘You’ve just managed to hold an outdoor rave.’ I hadn’t thought of it like that, but that’s a perfect description. The idea is mad as a box of frogs, but it works.” Hacienda Classical will play: Glasgow SSE Hydro Arena (April 22) London Royal Albert Hall (May 26) Manchester Castlefield Bowl (July 1) http://www.nme.com/news/haciend...assical-concerts-1684609

Later -2
