Good Clean Fun turns 5 this year so we’re celebrating the achievement at our Oct 3rd Party in our spiritual home at the Multicultural centre on Rose St, Garnethill, Glasgow
Starting from a handful of people with a passion to continue the dance in sobriety has grown to be a recognised part of Glasgow Clubbing culture, bringing the city’s first sober party to offer a space where you could hear jazz, funk, 80’s Groove, Deep House, Afro beat and everything in between supplied by established selectors at home in the City’s most discerning underground clubs to dj’s beginning their journey who share the same passion and vibe, our aim was to bring the same quality sound, dj / live sets, drinks offering and snacks you would find in the best of venues, we felt strongly that those who made the courageous decision to navigate life clean and sober and still wanted to party deserved nothing less!!!!
So we have a lot of people to thank for getting us where we are today, apologies if we miss anyone, there’s been a lot of parties and collaborators to make each one happen…………..
