MEMORIES of some amazing nights in Horan’s will come flooding back to people attending a club night on Easter Saturday, featuring some familiar DJs that graced the decks there over the past 30 years.

‘Retrospective’ will take place at The Klub at Kerins O’Rahillys Clubhouse with two function rooms hosting sets from DJ Eibhlin, Jonno Brien, D.O.R, Paudi Cronin, Steven Horan and Gary Fitz.

Jonno Brien and Paudi Cronin told TraleeToday.ie that the event will offer something refreshing for people starved of proper dance music, as the club music scene which thrived during the 90s and noughties in town has fizzled out over the years.

‘Retrospective’ is aimed at people who enjoyed the dance music played at Horan’s over the years so it’s billed as night for the ‘Over 28s’ and tickets are already selling very well. With a capacity of around 400, they expect to sell out well before Saturday week.

Paudi began DJing in Horan back in 1990 in Club Milk (the old ‘Ritzy’s) before going on to create the legendary Fresh N Funky night in the early 90s — playing an eclectic mix of dance, soul, hiphop and a bit of indie thrown in — and later ‘Transmission’.

Jonno Brien is also a veteran of the Horan’s scene and started spinning the discs there in 1995, going on to create a name for himself on the national dance DJ circuit.

Both Jonno and Paudi said it was a golden time for dance music at Horan’s when they attracted some of Europe’s top DJs with some even visiting from Detroit and San Francisco.

Jonno and the renowned DJ Eibhlin of Hedkandi will have revellers filling the floor with 90s and 00s house anthems, while downstairs Paudi, Steven and Gary will be playing a mixture of old and new soul, funk, disco and house records with a more laidback feel.

It’s guaranteed to be one of the best nights of the year for dance music aficionados so you better book the babysitter and get hold of those tickets, available on eventbrite by clicking here.
