Daytime disco to celebrate Britpop and indie anthems at the Roadmender


What’s The Story? has been a regular name on Northampton’s club scene for a decade and to celebrate its 10th anniversary and ahead of Oasis’ reformation and live return this summer, the team behind it are urging people to join them for a celebration of the genre.
Talking about the concept and what people can expect on the night, What’s The Story? DJ Anthony Antell said: “The playlist as you can probably guess will centre very much around 90s indie anthems, Britpop, Manchester along with a smattering of 80s and early 00s for good measure.

“The Oasis reunion and the upcoming gigs have really kicked off everybody's interest and it should be a fun summer hopefully.
“Our hopes are simply to play some beloved tunes to a bunch of likeminded people and have a bit of a dance while re-living the glory days.”
Mr Antell will be joined at the Northampton venue by DJ Steve Facer and promoter and DJ Phil Moore from The Black Prince.

He added: “It is a really important venue for the town and long may that continue.”
What’s The Story? takes place on Saturday, June 21, from 3pm to 8pm.
