Summary:

Boy George returns to perform on Saturday 3rd June 2000 following an alleged sighting at the first ever Pose World Party in September the previous year.

The Real Thing were the ballroom's last live performers of the 20th century when they played on Wednesday 27th December 2000, while the first live performers of the 21st century were The Honeyz on Friday 30th March 2001.

Though he hardly qualifies as a live music performer, you may be interested to know that Bernard Manning 'performed' on Wednesday 7th March 2001.

A fourteen-week £2 million refurbishment was completed and £5 ticket holders filled 'The Ballroom' once more at 21:00 on Friday 15th July 2005.

And the live acts still appear occasionally, so watch this space...
