Freddie Mercury fans from across Salford packed into Weaste and Seedley Social Club for an ’80s night of retro music and nostalgic memories.
Weaste and Seedley social club hosted the night starring tribute act Terry Mercury, and with an entry fee of £5 for non-members and just £3 for members, the seats were soon filled on Saturday (November 15).
Terry Mercury, as the Queen frontman, soon had everyone singing and reminiscing on the good old days, before smart phones, streaming and social media.
The audience embraced this theme wholeheartedly with many arriving with matching Freddie Mercury moustaches, bright party clothes on and flamboyant sunglasses.
The flashing disco lights swept across the room in bright colours, as the crowd came alive when they heard the opening to Another One Bites the Dust start to play. This causes a massive sing along from the locals.
What stood out the most was the sense of relaxed friendliness from around the room, the kind of feeling people would only get when everyone knew everyone. Old friends greeted each other with hugs and handshakes, swapping stories over pints. It felt less like an event and more like a family gathering, as people were going around the room to different tables greeting everyone.
By the end of the night Freddie sang his last note, but people still lingered laughing and talking wanting the night to continue to find out more click here.
