3 rooms of loved up fun

Trinity Rooms will host a trio of acts for Valentines weekend kicking off on Friday February 13 with Trance Superstar John O’Callaghan headlining the main room. John O’Callaghan took just five short years to outrun his “next big thing” tag and move over to the A-list fast-track. A masterful spinner, his unique blend of trance, coupled with an exacting, pin-point precise mixing style has seen him power up the DJ rankings. Spin South West’s Zoo Crew will be taking control of Trinity 2 when Meteor Award nominees Conor and Michelle will dig deep into their treasure trove of rn’b grooves to drop the smoothest selection of loved up Rn’B grooves for the smooth soul of the 70’s to the pimped up Compton Love of the 90’s right up till now!
The Trinity Rooms Rn’B tag team of Johnny Hammond and Erick will be in the Clubhouse where the venue will be transformed with a loving makeover and admission is just ¬Ä8 on the night!
