| clubbing cv 1990-1991 never missed a night Quadrant Park ,unfortunatly stood far too close to the Freeze Bar in there one night so i was mistakenly frozen in carbonite till 2003 then was defrosted by pluto+dreamgirl just in time for Hazydayz !! dj Mike knowler hasnt aged a bit  ,i thought the Zanzibar was always a place for rock gigs, i recall a live PA by Sy Snootles and the Rebo band   cant believe they knocked down the quad

| In 89 I was turning my back on electro and hip-hop and getting down to thrash metal  Same year on my 18th birthday I dragged a smelly mate in to the Hac. I couldn't believe how you could hear it from McDs on Oxford Road, and the pavements felt like they were shaking as you walked nearer. Needless to say my life changed. Only went out a few times that year, discovered Konspiracy club. That has to be favourite club of all time, so insane inside. I should hate it. I thought it might be a good idea to drop a 100 mushies before going in one night in 1990. Deciding I had enough with my materialistic life  , ran away from my mates, decided I was too warm got outside through a fire escape, took all my clothes off bar my shorts, don't think I even had my wallet, definitely no trainers. Then ran back in through the main entrance ignoring whatever the bouncers were trying to say, stayed on the raised dancefloor for the rest of the night. As I came back to reality I realised my mates had left me (I don't blame them). Luckily I bumped in to some old school mates who I hadn't seen for a year or so. And managed to get a lift home  90 more indie/dance clubs as another group of mates got in to the Madchester scene. Venus, 5th Avenue, The Boardwalk, Monroes (Stockport) Weekender in Pwllheli 91 dropped my first E at Sequins in Blackpool and never listened to Indie again I went to Sequins more than anywhere. I prefered the harder edge it had over most places - before hardcore came along and ruined it for me. Club was ok, decor was naff. I have some photos (somewhere) Oz in Blackpool was 2nd choice if we couldn't get in Shelleys in Stoke, usually too much piano for me. Sasha was a highlight. Getting 5 stitches off a thug with sovereigns was the lowest Some place in Ashton - Zoo? Sasha again, bit of a dive 42nd Street saw Jenny whatsherface off No Limits in there  Manhattans in Blackburn - nice club - loved the american car smashed in to the roof Hippodrome in Middleton. Gotta love that walkway over the dance floor Back to Basics in Leeds, lovely gaff Soundgardens Then there was Marple Liberal Club - really just a club for people who went to one school - but cracking nights and copius amounts of drugs And then I went on a bad trip and my clubbing came to an abrupt end Took till about 96/97 till I started going out properly again. Mainly for Drum and Bass at Sankeys and the Hac. But went to Ministry of Sound for NYE party with Todd Terry. Damn that place was loud and clear. As Drum and Bass never really took off up here so I stopped going out again. Just on the odd occasion I'll go to a club. Pick of the bunch for me has been the Ampersand lately, but too posey for me really. I'm really tempted to come to one of these old school nights, I know I'll convice one or two to come with me. Just need to convince myself, it won't be like how other "old fogey" type get togethers are. I can't be the only one who looks down on 80s, Punk, Bay City Rollers reunions can I? But I am so glad I lived through this era, I'm willing to be thought of as a bit naff, for clinging to my past. In fact there is only the Hippy summer of love I would possibly trade for |

| Great thread! 1988 - Limit Sheffield. Just started getting into it then. It was crossing over from the hip hop at the time in Sheffield, and rave/acid was starting kick off. 1989 - Ocassions in Sheffield, and went every friday for a couple of years. 1990 - CJ's in Sheffield - a mucky skanky underground after club, but had my first e in there. Amazing. 1990-1992 - Shelleys Stoke. Went virtually every Saturday in 1991. Joined the queues at 8, blagged to the front, and in the club by 9, off it! Best time of my life. Never to be forgotten. 1991 - Hippodrome in Middleton Manchester 1991-1993 - Palais Sheffield - Jam/Music Factory. My local club, and was superb. Just managed to get NYE 1991 on CD so am currently sat listening reminiscing to the best night of my clubbing life 1992-1993 - Gallery in Leeds. Loved this place. So different. Brilliant. 1993-1996 - Hard Times at all the venues - Mirfield, The church in Huddersfield (saw Kathy Sledge sing we are family there - we were!). And then onto Leeds. 1994-1996 - Back to Basics. 1996 - Ibiza - my final blow out. Trying to get to an old skool night. I've never stopped listening to the stuff, just never been to a night. Other venues I went to: Octagon Sheffield 1990/1993 Nelson Mandela Sheffield - 1990/1993 Amnesia at Donnington - September 1992 Rise @ Leadmill Sheffield Time @ Leadmill Sheffield Pacha Rotherham I'm sure there's more, but the memory aint as good as it used to be! |

I remember a few nights going over with a coachload - once or twice we went to the dome in Brum or sometimes to Park End in Oxford. Those kinds of nights were always great. Cheeeeesy music, loads of beer, dodging the odd scrap, a sweaty kebab on the way home....f**k me Banbury hasn't changed much has it???? LOL! Mart |

| Hi Al, The place hasn't changed at all Love the word 'Arena' - pmsl. We always used to hang around by (or on!) the bank of speakers to the right of the DJ box. Then we moved to the bar at the back and then finally to the payphone area in the 'foyer' by the bogs (especially when the music started going a bit harder) Great find those - nice one Doing sound m8 - hope ur well too bud Mart |
