TAKE THAT STAR SET FOR CITY GIG
Date : 03.03.08
He Is more used to performing at sell-out concerts across the country.
But for one night only, Take That's Howard Donald will be packing out Welly Club in Beverley Road, Hull.
Howard has agreed to DJ at the venue's popular Deja Vu night.
Promoter Terry Spamer said it was a major coup for the event, particularly after Take That's phenomenal comeback.
Mr Spamer said: "I called Howard's agent a week ago and said 'It is Deja Vu's 16th birthday, how about it?'.
"His agent contacted him and as he had nothing on with Take That he said yes. It is brilliant.
"He is part of the most famous band in the country at the moment without a shadow of a doubt."
Howard has DJ'd at the club on four previous occasions, during the period when Take That had spilt up.
He will perform a two-hour set in the main room on Sunday, May 4.
Mr Spamer said: "We built up a rapport with him when he came here before.
"He is a real down-to-earth guy, they all are, they are not prima donnas and that's why people bond with the band.
"He is a genuinely nice guy. He has stayed in Hull when he has been here and we have gone out for a few drinks after.
"When we had him on before it was packed.
"His agent told me he almost fell off his chair when Howard agreed to do our gig.
"Take That have just won a couple of Brits, they are huge, massive celebrities."
Welly Club has a capacity of about 950 people. Deja Vu moved there in 2002 from the Eclipse nightclub.
The night was started on the May Bank Holiday weekend in 1992 at the Tower Ballroom.
At its height it attracted DJs including Judge Jules, Paul Oakenfold and Seb Fontaine.
