CLUBS: PICK OF THE WEEK
THE SYNDICATE @ the syndicate
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Blackpool isn't immediately associated with quality clubbing, conjuring up images of sticks of rock, bingo and "fun beside the seaside". But The Syndicate seems on a mission to redress the balance, providing an oasis of dance music for 4,500 clubbers every weekend.
With numerous levels, a purpose-built sound-system and a constant stream of celebrity spinners, this place wouldn't seem out of place in Ibiza - it has swallowed up millions of pounds, transforming itself from a crumbling cinema into a gargantuan dance space. There's nowhere else like it in Blackpool, so visiting your auntie Nora should have a silver lining, if you can steal away after dark.
Last week, Sonique brought the house down, proving once again that she remains a DJ of awesome talent. Tonight, club owner and fanatical socialite Fran Cosgrove takes centre stage behind the decks, spinning some funky and crescendo-fuelled house.
The beauty of a venue this size is that there's something for everyone, whether it's house, R'n'B or hip-hop. Arrive early, as it doesn't take long to reach boiling point.
130-140 Church Street, Blackpool, Lancs (01253-753222; www.thesyndicate.org) Sat, 10pm-2am, pounds 10
