Catalogue note
Four-date Equinox programme flyer from Funhouse Promotions for Milwaukees, the rural club on the A6 between Bedford and Rushden. Across four consecutive Fridays it brings together Top Buzz, Grooverider, Slipmatt, LTJ Bukem, Doc Scott, DJ Rap, DJ SS, Carl Cox, Jumping Jack Frost, Ratty, Mickey Finn, Fabio, Ray Keith and others. The object is valuable evidence of the weekly licensed-club infrastructure through which hardcore and early jungle overlapped outside London.

Historical context: The flyer describes Equinox as the longest-running and most successful series of events ever at Milwaukees and promotes the venue's 25K Cerwin Vega sound and visual production. Independent history of Milwaukees likewise identifies Equinox as its longest-running weekly hardcore all-nighter.
Condition note: Light edge and corner wear, scattered surface scuffs/marks, minor handling creases and small local abrasions. Colour and printed information remain strong and highly legible. No major paper loss visible in supplied photographs.

Explore the club-culture timeline to follow advertised dates, places and billed performers across the held flyers.
Event details are drawn from the held object and the qualified catalogue research above. A printed bill establishes an advertised booking, not confirmation that a performer appeared.
Why this object matters
Four consecutive Equinox Fridays give this outstanding longitudinal evidence of weekly venue programming, complementing the collection's one-off events. Align with Zenith's four-week regional programme: duration and detailed travel information strengthen research usefulness without automatically creating Gold.
Evidence limits: No new physical inspection or collation was performed. Copy-specific conclusions remain limited to the retained catalogue and accession evidence.
