Club Culture and Nightlife Thread

I love clubbing, where's your favourite club, either for dancing or socialising?

G.a.y

The obvious one is Fabric. But Sankys in Manchester back in the day was pretty hard to beat, for me. Some amazing nights there. And Turnmills. Ahh Turnmills. :-(

my bedroom.

Too hardcore.

... Are the nights out I remember enjoying a lot. I may have only been to some of those once, but they stick out as being brilliant. All pre 1997. I stopped all that soon after I got shacked up.

Mostly I think niteclubs are pretty horrible, esp that whole door thing makes my flesh crawl, having to deal with security - almost always utter plonkers.

Why do you ask?

What about festivals? I went to Homelands and Creamfields pretty regularly.

Had to be a bit careful at Creamfields tho. Load of scallies. Dressed in shirts, shorts and Rockports. Pinching fags out of peoples mouths! Some very long messy weekends. Couldn't do it now. Not a lot of security tho Skully!

@skully spiders still exist, same as it was 10 years ago when I was 15! I never went to room, I did whoever visited a few times when it was attic. I've heard good stories from that place.

I went to spiders fairly recently, I've been assured it hasnt changed one bit in a very long time. decent night.

Ziggy's
One of our favourite dive bars in Streatham in the 80s.. Quality DJs we even had guest appearances without any notice from hip hop artists. Venue held no more than 200.. Bright times..

There was a Ziggy's in York. Rough.

can't remember if it was the Wag or The Milk Bar we went to once with some Blackpool friends on decent pills - J's mate Mo got offered some speed by some geezer dealing to which he replied 'Do I look like I want any fooking speed?'

DiY in Nottingham must get a mention. And Outer Limits in Milton Keynes natch

Progress in Derby was my route into clubbing in the 90s. Warehouse and the Conservatory were both good venues.

Blue Mountain and Lakota in Bristol were also great when I was there.

Props must always be paid to DiY. All my clubbing-upbringing was done in Nottingham, through Gold, The House, the Marcus Garvey Centre for proper naughtiness and then the grail - James Baillie's The Bomb.

The penny dropped in there and I've not been able to dislodge it since. Everyone proper came through that place - Tyrant, DiY, Wiggle, the Detroit mob, Weatherall, Middleton. My worst night there spanks any top night spent anywhere else. Tiny club, low ceilings, sweaty happiness and memories wiped across that dancefloor. Comparable to Back to Basics in Leeds in terms of music policy, promoter into it for the right reasons and quality resident - Ralph Lawson for Basics and Dave Congreve for The Bomb, who still produces, DJs and gets his tracks supported from the likes of Wiggle. Only club I wish I did was Trade at Turnmills. Never did make it there.

Off to Wiggle's 20th birthday party tonight. Bushwacka, Nathan Coles, Terry Francis and Eddie Richards bringing the house rhythms all night long. Congreve is going as a punter too. Good gathering brewing in honour of true pioneers, whose music will always get me off.

Blimey. Blast from the past. So still full of goths drinking snakebite and black presumably?

Which is now a strip club. Definitively a step up in class.

Shelleys, Orbit when it was at Osset and the Jam Factory at the Palaus in Sheffield were my favourite ever clubs. Good times.

Also middle aged men wearing corsets and thongs.
