Cream

Cream was a music promotion trio (Darren Hughes, James Barton and Andy Carroll) that originally began hosting a weekly house music club night (1992–2002) at the now-demolished Nation nightclub (formerly Snobs Disco) in Wolstenholme Square in Liverpool. It ran in this format from October 1992 to June 2002. Cream has counted Steve Lawler and Yousef amongst its resident DJs. Cream also hosts the dance music festival Creamfields every August in Daresbury, Cheshire. Creamfields has won the award for Best Dance Event at the UK Festival Awards a record six times since the awards began 10 years ago, most recently in December 2014. In 2010, they also won the Music Week award for "Festival of the Year". In 2012, Live Nation acquired the Creamfields Festival Brand from Cream on a contract basis. Cream's home in Wolstenholme Square, Liverpool, was demolished in 2016 as part of an urban regeneration project. Plans to build a new home for the nightclub as part of the development were retrospectively removed from the planning application.
