SUMMARY:Blow Up
LOCATION:Three Wise Monkeys
DESCRIPTION:Blow Up returns to Colchester at Three Wise Monkeys Colchester
  with Blow Up founder Paul Tunkin (DJ set) and The Forty Fours (live) Colc
 hester was the first town to hold a Blow Up event outside of the weekly Lo
 ndon events in the nineties. Blow Up\, a bona-fide legendary club night at
  the centre of the mid-Nineties Brit Pop explosion\, cited as the catalyst
  and birth place of the BritPop scene\, influencing the style and sound of
  a generation. Blow Up was voted No.4 in Time Out’s Top Ten Clubs of the
  90s\, described as one of ‘5 Classic Clubs of Our Time‘ by Vox Magazi
 ne (alongside The Blitz Club\, Shoom\, The Roxy) and as ‘The club that c
 hanged the world’ by Melody Maker. Describing Blow Up in Time Out’s Lo
 ndon Calling book as “the breeding ground of the Brit Pop sound” and i
 n NME’s Original’s Blow Up was listed as a Top Ten Britpop Moment. In 
 July 2022 Time Out once again listed Blow Up as one of the greatest London
  clubs of the past 40 years. Blow Up has also hosted events around the UK 
 and internationally over the years\, including across Europe\, USA\, Russi
 a and Japan. Whilst the Blow Up club compilations (‘Blow Up A-Go-Go!’ 
 and ‘Blow Up presents Exclusive Blend’) have increased the reach of Bl
 ow Up around the world.. Blow Up was founded and launched by Paul Tunkin 1
 6th October 1993 at the upstairs function room of a Camden Town pub the La
 urel Tree. After just a few months Blow Up had become the epicentre of a s
 eismic musical and stylistic change in what was later called the Britpop s
 cene. From its origins at the Laurel Tree\, Camden Town (1993-1996) to Soh
 o venues the Wag Club (1996-2001)\, the Metro Club (2002-2009\, the Metro 
 which Paul Tunkin co-ran with former Wag Club manager Alan Campbell) Blow 
 Up maintained a weekly club event interspersed with various one-off events
 . Post the Metro Club’s closure Blow Up took up weekly and monthly resid
 ences in various venues including Bar Rumba\, 4 Denmark St and Peckham's B
 ussey Building followed by a weekly five year Friday night residency at th
 e St Moritz Club\, Wardour St Soho (2015-2020) once again interspersed wit
 h occasional monthly events including the Troubadour London. Blow Up ran c
 ontinuous weekly events until the nightlife lockdown in 2020 and finally r
 eturned for a three night residency at Vout O Reenee’s London (Oct - Dec
 ember 2022). November 2023 saw the first part of the Blow Up 30 year celeb
 rations with a sold out club and live event at Jamboree Kings Cross. Whils
 t in May 2024 saw Blow Up take to the roof terrace of members club the Cen
 tury in Soho as part 2 of our 30th celebrations. Hope that you can join us
  for what promises to be another special night.\n\nBoletos: https://wegott
