Rave date set to raise roof at Cathedral


Frpm Liverpool-

Liverpool's Anglican Cathedral is set to host one of the most unorthodox events in its century-old history; an all-night rave, which has provoked a mixed reaction from its congregation.

The event, which has been organised by record label Dig Deeper and Liverpool club Freeze, will see 650 of the city's dance music fans have the opportunity to catch DJs Hernan Cattaneo and Danny Howells in what promises to be one of the most unusual musical performances of the year.

Taking place on Saturday 2nd April, the gig will conclude a day of workshops at the cathedral that are aimed to help provide people in the city a gateway into the music industry, with classes in DJ'ing and music production for children and the unemployed.

JMU Journalism spoke to a number of visitors to the cathedral on Sunday, and despite proving a surprise to many, the reaction varied from anger to encouragement for the plans.

Mary Casser-Hewitt, 58, from Frodsham said: “I’m quite shocked about it to be honest. I can understand, I suppose, why some people might think that it’s a good idea but it’s a
holy place. It deserves better than that.”
