LEGEND of pop and disco Boy George makes a rare appearance in Manchester this weekend tipping up to DJ at, where else, village superclub Essential's Big Name Bender night.

Aside from a long a distinguished career as both pop chameleon and author George was also one of the first high profile British pop stars to fully embrace club culture playing gay benefit dates at the Haçienda and other northern strongholds in the acid house heyday.

Furthermore his then record label also put out the near legendary acid house anthem - the provocatively titled Everything Starts With An E by E-Zee Posse, a record that Graeme Park would often play at the peak of his famed Saturday night sets with Mike Pickering.

Since then he's had his ups and down culminating in 2002 with a riotous musical Taboo about the Eighties London club scene of Steve Strange, Marilyn and self-made work of art Leigh Bowery.

With competition being strong in clubland at the moment Essential is pulling out all the stops this weekend as the regular team of DJs are joined by Fedde Le Grand Vs Ida Corr who'll be performing their single Let Me Think About It. Should be one heck of a night. http://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/entertainment/clubs/s/1023498_dont_miss_out_on_the_essential_george
