Taking its cues from the people, the performances, the nights and the music that defined the original Haçienda, “Retro5pect1ve”, this limited-edition fine art digital print celebrates the history of Manchester’s iconic Haçienda nightclub in a vibrant and exciting artwork which has been created by one of Manchester’s finest modern artists and illustrators, Justin Eagleton, in collaboration with The Haçienda and Peter Hook
Anchored by one of the Haçienda pillars and the Whitworth Street West road-sign on the left, this intricately detailed artwork features many subtle refences to the infamous nightclub and the wider Manchester music scene, remembering famous performance and inspirational nights, the Haçienda staff, the club’s signature design style as well as the key characters, musicians and bands who came to make the club “the most famous in the world” according to Newsweek in the 1990’s.
In celebrating the renown and respect in which The Haçienda’s scene is held, Justin’s artwork captures the energy, spirt and impact felt in that era as well as the considerable affection which remains for the club today, not only in Manchester and the UK, but all across the world.

About “Retro5pect1ve” – Artwork, Peter Hook said: “I’ve been a fan of Justin’s work for a long time actually. He is a really nice young man and I was very impressed when he did The Hacienda Bee the other year. He has managed to capture the very essence of The Hacienda family and the altruism which has shaped the club, from when it opened to entertain Manchester in the Eighties to the heritage it commands today.”
Justin commented: “It’s a dream come true to work with The Haçienda and a genuine friend and hero of mine, Peter Hook, on this creative collaboration. The Haçienda still means so much to so many people and to be given the opportunity to capture a moment in time was one I could not pass up. My hope is that everyone that went to The Haçienda sees an element within the artwork that transports them back to the music, emotion and love that they experienced inside its unique space.”
