BOURNEMOUTH'S most iconic clubbing brand is back to celebrate its 21st birthday next week.

Slinky was the most successful Bournemouth-born global trance brand of all time and celebrates its anniversary at its new home at Halo on Friday, May 4 from 9pm to 4am.

Headlining are The Thrillseekers, Seb Fontaine and John Kelly who will be joining residents Tim Lyall and Gaz White with Conjet.

Owner Clive Collins, says his aim is to reinstate Slinky as the number one trance and dance brand globally.

He told the Echo: "Slinky has, and will always have a following, and DJs love it too.

"I believe the UK trance scene has never been stronger, and we are all very excited about Slinky coming to Halo.

"We hope Slinky’s revival will attract the younger generation as well, as most of us are not in our 20s any more!”
