Madchester icon coming to Sunderland's 7even to play a DJ set
Two legendary names in music culture are hitting a Sunderland nightspot this month, bringing the sounds that defined a generation to the city.
Clint Boon, best known as the charismatic keyboardist and co-songwriter of Manchester’s iconic band Inspiral Carpets, will be taking to the decks at Sunderland’s 7even at 12:30am on October 19.
With a career spanning decades, Clint was at the heart of the Madchester scene that shaped a generation, sharing stages and studios with the likes of Oasis, Happy Mondays, and The Stone Roses.
Now one of the UK’s most in-demand DJs, his sets are a unique blend of classic indie, northern soul, and dancefloor anthems that never fail to ignite a crowd.
Keeping the energy alive both before and after Clint’s set will be Tim Bradwell, a name etched into Sunderland’s nightlife history.
As the former resident DJ ofKu Klub, Tim was at the centre of one of the North East’s most vibrant clubbing eras.
Ku Klub became a cultural touchstone in the region, famed for its forward-thinking playlists and unforgettable nights - and Tim was the man driving its soundtrack.
The duo will deliver a masterclass in indie, alternative, and dancefloor bangers.
Dave Redfern from 7even said: “For lovers of indie music, the Madchester era was one of the best periods of music in memory. It defined a generation.
“We can’t wait to bring that authentic 90s energy to 7even, with Clint and Tim entertaining crowds into the night.”
The Inspiral Carpets were former in Oldham back in 1983.
Their first top-40 chart success in the UK with 'This Is How It Feels'.
The single reached No. 14 on the singles chart, and the debut album Life reached No. 2 on the albums chart in 1990.
