CREAM
Much has been made in recent months
of Liverpool's regeneration programme. Visits made by In The
City, Radio One's Sound City in addition to numerous bars and
hotels springing forth on every corner, investment by businesses
in the area etc, have been applauded from all quarters.
What many seem to have forgotten is that Liverpool, for seven
years has been home to the U.K's (and indeed Europe's) most famous
and respected club- Cream.
The organisation's famous 3point logo is known the world over,
and represents not only Cream, but the city itself. Cream is
the epitome of style, taste and the very best in dance music.
Who has not witnessed coachfuls of clubbers arriving from Manchester,
London, all over the country en-route to Liverpool's most celebrated club?
Cream has become a way of life to many many people, and it has
been flying the flag for this area for a long long time. Receiving
awards a-plenty, they organise events in countries all over the
world - Spain (of course), Greece, Brazil, Argentina, Northern
Ireland, Uruguay and now the biggie, America.
The Creamfields one day festival last
year visited Winchester - this summer Liverpool itself hosted
the event.
1998's New Years Eve was an ambitious
event for Cream, taking part alongside major venues in Manchester,
Newcastle and London. 30,000 clubbers celebrated the New Year
simultaneously, entertained by Fatboy Slim, Faithless, Paul Oakenfold,
Todd Terry, Roger Sanchez....
Millenium Eve though threatens to top
that. Cream are organising four - count 'em-club night extravaganzas;
two in Liverpool, one each in London and Cardiff, starring the
biggest names in dance music.
Cream isn't merely a club, oh no; it
represents some of the U.K's top DJs; it has released many compilation
CDs. The Cream shop has become the top clubwear shop in the Northwest.
Things continue to move forward for
Cream.
And make no mistake, they're flying the flag for Liverpool.
