Its objective is twofold: to energize Barrels (Lot-et-Garonne) and highlight local artists. Enzo Valenti, at the age of 27, is a Tonneinquais who decided to put his passion at the service of the town, organize parties. He will do this one Friday per month, starting January 17, 2025.
An association in 2014
For this, he created an association, Night Corp.who is now 10 years old. With it, he offers festive Fridays, in the Manoque halla space that he considers underexploited, at least until now.
Because since Friday October 11, 2024 and the first evening, things have been happening… Aperitif concert hall.
One evening, one style
Concretely, it is d’afterwork, from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m., with musical entertainment, refreshments and tapas. Entrance is free and anyone can come. The atmosphere is family-friendly.
Each evening, a different style of music is offered, “the concept is simple: slip quietly into the weekend with an alternative at the end of the week, after work” assures Enzo Valenti.
And above all, highlight mainly local artists who need visibility and who deserve to be on stage.
Through this emphasis, “we want to help artists and bring dynamism to the city”. Dates are planned every month with, as a finale, the music festival, June 21, place Jean Jaurès.
A festival in winter
This desire to revitalize the city does not date from this fall.
In 2022 and 2023, he organized the Frozen Festivala great meeting for the The news. “After the second edition, we wanted to go with something simpler, lighter” explains Enzo Valenti.
“There was an observation around this Manoque: it was not exploited at the hall level
It is now a done deal and appointments are now running “by a fairly large, varied and family audience. That’s good,” smiles the young man, delighted to see things happening in his city.
With this association created in 2024 to satisfy an unusual passion: organizing events.
Since a young age
Because he has organized a lot of events since his childhood. “Very young, I realized that I loved creating events,” he smiles.
Since he was 12-13 years old, he has been organizing parties, “we were around twenty friends…”
When we got to more than a hundred people, it wasn't a good idea to continue doing that at my parents' house.
So he created his association organizing events (except weddings) while working as a digital entrepreneur, creation and management of social networks.
More if affinity
In addition to aperitif concerts in the Manoque hall, Night Corp. has other events planned… “We would like to organize a concert next year, open-air cinemas in the summer… We will see, depending on the means, what is possible. »
The next dates
For the Hall's next aperitif concert, the atmosphere will be gypsy rumba, on Friday January 17 from 6 p.m.
The other meetings have already been set, the theme will be updated gradually on the association's Facebook page: Fridays February 7, March 14, April 11, May 16 and June 21 with the music festival.
