The History of Widescreen
Widescreen started over 5 years ago in the City of York, bringing its residents a different vibe than the City was used to, pushing the sound of underground house. But as time went by it began to encompass so much more than simple DJing, and hosted several night combining DJs and Live bands. In mid 2007 Widescreen did its final event as part of the York Live Music Festival, as promoters Gazzmann & Fudance decided to focus on their smaller eclectic DJ bar night Region2, but now it returns as a whole new beast, keep your ears peeled.
