Tales From The Dancefloor Book Launch Dinner with Sacha Lord
Like most Mancunians of his age, Sacha Lord’s life has been a tale of two cities. Then and now.
Over the past three decades, Sacha has been in the eye of the storm of a musical and cultural revolution, from The Haçienda to The Warehouse Project. He has worked with the music industry’s most iconic acts including The Prodigy, New Order, Snoop Dogg, Fat Boy Slim, Skrillex, Calvin Harris, Four Tet, Fred Again… and has thrown some of the biggest parties that the UK has ever seen.
But it wasn’t an easy journey getting there.
Tales from the Dancefloor gives readers an all-access pass to the people, music and chaos behind the scenes. From being shot at in a drive-by shooting and dealing with gangs and the criminal underworld, to the excess and demands of some of music’s biggest names, launching the country’s largest urban festival, Parklife, and much more, Sacha reveals all the highs and lows for the very first time.
Tales from the Dancefloor, co-authored with bestselling author Luke Bainbridge, is a love letter to the city and the dance floor. This is an incredible story of resilience, creativity and innovation.

ABOUT “TALES FROM THE DANCEFLOOR”
Warmly described by The Guardian and The Observer as recounting ‘enjoyable tales of Manchester clubbing’, Sacha Lord’s acclaimed book, Tales from the Dancefloor, tracks the meteoric rise of Manchester’s house music scene over the past three decades. Published through HarperNorth, the book reveals behind-the-scenes accounts of Sacha’s enormous contribution to nightlife in the city, from his club nights at The Haçienda, Paradise Factory and Sankeys, to the birth of Parklife and The Warehouse Project, named the world’s favourite nightclub, beating the likes of Pacha and Ushuaïa. ‘Tales From The Dancefloor’ has already been named Amazon’s number one best seller for dance music from pre-orders alone.
Speaking about the book, Sacha Lord said: “I’ve been shot at in a drive-by shooting, bundled into a car by gangsters and had death threats. I’ve been sued and broke, I’ve had to deal with an army of rats who were high on cocaine, had £130,000 stolen in an armed robbery and been targeted by a Romanian organised crime gang.
“I’ve been lucky to have been in the eye of the storm of a musical and cultural revolution, to have some of the most incredible life-affirming experiences, to meet most of my musical heroes and to have thrown some of the biggest parties this country has ever seen. This book will reveal everything which happened behind the scenes, the good, the bad and the ugly.”
