never saw anytrouble there myself, but i was always in a world of my own, pretty much oblivious to anything that was around me, which is prolly why i dont remember alot about the clubs i went to(and there was lots) all i know is i had amazing times in the majority of them

im sure i went too a few nights where there was some lads from bramhall playing, sure i remember someone saying "yeah there from bramhall" lol

funny how alot of us on here have prolly crossed paths so many times

Yeah, you're not wrong there, in another thread it was quite spooky that myself and Ste Huxley, had both been to and DJ'd in Monroes (Stockport) and had also been to the illegal 'cave' raves.

[STUART]

got me racking my brains now with every post i remebr another i forgot

90-91 ish 16-17yo Maximes - was a bit sharon & tracy but wicked piano & hardcore all night then with the rise of E the small section of wide eyes became the whole dancefloor tune that kicked every Saturday off was Propheta - rave is your party you knew you was about to come up then and the tune i looked for years after hearing it here was System - dont stop also got my 1st whistle for these Saturday nights

That was before anyone got wheels

91-92 seemed to be split between a couple of nights at Angels Burnley
tune that sticks out 2 X-Treme - extremity was good club with excellent Air Con at the side of the dancefloor that in the correct spot whould make you rush like mad

Also started to go to

Manhattans in Southport Large Venue 2 rooms DJ of the moment was Green Bins cool nights fantastic scousers seemed to get better and better then the license got stripped to 1am and the MC was banned due to the neighbours complaints about noise tune that sticks out 2 Bad Mice - bombscare & The Prodigy - your love

A night at the Hacienda although was possi Mariah - dreamlover ripped the place

Couple of nights at Wigan Pier - tune that sticks out Edge 1 - compounded people sucking dummys

93-94 ish Zone @ Jenks all those bloody stairs tune that sticks out TOO MANY all fantastic italian MY LOVE OF ITALIAN PIANO/SYNTH was born

94 onwards Zone when it went to The Venue - track that sticks out House Traffic - everyday of my life plenty others

Zone Dance Factory ,1night at Zone Liverpool & Zone @ Pagoda Carlisle
this is when the best in my eyes Italian was getting played TFO - Soul & Body , Hysteria - something about you, One Nation - just high.

Then sadly i hanged my whistle up still get to the odd nights in and around Brum now but those to me where the good old days

and im sure ive forgotten somewhere!!!!!!!!!

[fast regi]
