Funny as.

The Pink Flamingo - is that still there?? 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

Churchills is no more

Muswells has changed to but I remember when it was the local haunt for picking up and comedowns.

Pink flamingos s no more been 3 diffrent clubs since.

I remember coaches to the dome to brum never went thou

how funny..
was being a bit self indulgent and looking up old nights I'd run and stumbled upon this!

It's quite interesting looking back, how people on the other side of the decks must have experienced and now remember things...

Curious commentary, please expand.

[electricdisco]

Well I went along to the liberal club a couple of times in 1990 to nights that a couple of marple dj's called nick and johnny used to run, then in early 91, me and another mate took over and made it a weekly friday night affair.

We took the odd week off to go to Shelleys or Monroes in Stockport which was also pretty good at the time considering it was such a small venue.

But for the most part, that was us doing it through 91 and creeping into 92.

I remember us trying to do a mid week night too, which unfortunately was a total washout, but randomly Pig-C and another DJ had heard about us and came along to check it out.
Not the best timing as I think we had made the massive oversight of not advertising it until the night before and when noone showed we had to scrap it.

Crikey, I remember us doing another night up in New Mills that Pig-C came along to check out, and we'd got cocky with that and this particular night I was trashed beyond belief and I can honestly say it was the worst display of DJ'ing I've had the displeasure of providing a crowd with!

But that was kinda my point, looking at it from a crowds point of view... I know these are super small nights, and not even a blip on clublands historical landscape, but flicking through old friends networks on Facebook or such like.. there are quite a few sub groups that were just setting out clubbing when we were doing these nights and bizzarrely citing places like the liberal club as the reason they all hooked up and got into clubland.

Dunno, I guess there's no real point here. Just feeling nostalgic and looking back on that era a bit self indulgently whilst avoiding doing any work for the afternoon!

Nice introduction. I was there around the same times. Often in the middle of the stage
Nick Massey? I remember Jay Sharples on the decks a few times too.

[electricdisco]

aye, Nick Massey and Johnny Mount.
I knew Jay too, I've got a feeling he might have stepped in for us a couple of times when we went to Shelleys.

Nick and Johnny were mint together back in the day, really good dj's, dunno what happened but they split and went off separately and did their own thing.

I bumped into Johnny years later and he'd got well into disco and from what I remember it was on the idjut boys NOID tip alongside the authentic 70's sound.

The Libberdome... ha, just come back to me what people used to call it! Sounds a bit more authentic than Marple Liberal Club doesnt it!

I was in Nick Masseys form at school lol. H e seemed to only do the odd night here and there after the "Libradome". Last time I saw him, he was dj'ing in Westworld clothes shop next to Afflecks; over 3 years ago.
Blue Jammer and Ste Huxtable (on here) also used to dj there

heres the events and nights i used to do, like i say dates are a blur for me but i knew what i wanted and which promoter would give me a night i wanted.

stamina

hacienda

amnesia

sunrise

raindance

the eclipse

ibiza (all of um)

shellys (the place i lived in for a long time )

fantazia

perception

diy + any free parties going
