Manchester’s newest nightclub Amber’s has announced the launch of a weekly Sunday event, Afters at Amber’s.
The new event – which has been described as a day-to-night party – will kick off next month on February 9, taking place from 4:PM until 2:AM.
Afters At Amber’s promises to showcase emerging local talent, who will be platformed alongside current Amber’s residents and unannounced special guests.
DJs, selectors and artists are encouraged to send their mixes into Amber’s, who will then select talent to perform each week. Those chosen will get the chance to perform at the venue’s new Sunday party.
