A FORMER Redditch resident is launching a house music club for people in the town.

Chris Goodyer said he had spoken to many people in Redditch who felt there was nowhere where they could revel in the music they enjoy.

With this in mind, he decided to launch his club at Club Ventura, which will be run as a franchise by Mr Goodyer and his company, Tiny Club Promotions Ltd.

A pre-launch party will take place on Friday, December 19, from 9.30pm-2am and it will open properly from January 16.

The launch will see a complete transformation of the venue, with different decor, a bigger and better sound system, dedicated music in two rooms and low prices on all drinks all night.

The first night will also feature big name DJs who can normally be heard playing in some of Birmingham's best clubs, including Hidden, Miss Moneypenny's and DV8.

Admission is £5 before 11pm and £6 after.
