If there’s one thing we know how to do in this industry it’s throw a party.
When it comes to parties Jack Daniels know how to do it in style, especially when it’s the big man’s birthday.
Every September, for the whole month, Jack Daniels celebrate their founder Mr Jack’s (as he affectionately known) birthday. They take up the whole of September because they don’t know exactly on which day he was born, although BarLifeUK reckon it also has something to do with the fact they love a good party.
This year the culmination of all the birthday celebrations is a party and gig on the 6th October in quiet possibly the best named location in the country – The Devil’s Arse Cave in the Peak District. Taking place underground within the cave complex the party will feature music from The Vaccines, Mystery Jets and Tribes.
The location has been picked to pay tribute to the iron-free Cave Spring water that flows at the distillery in Lynchburg which is used to make all Jack’s famous Whiskey. That and it had a cool name.
Want a ticket?
BarLifeUK have teamed up with the lovely folk at Jack Daniel’s to offer you, our equally lovely readers, the chance to win a pair of tickets to this awesome event.
