Simple really - tell us about the best night club youve been to - the most memorable song you heard and why?
Mine - 1990 to 1992 (Uni) - the Blue Monkey - Sunderland. This place was a converted theatre on several levels. You could go upstairs in the velvet nooky seats and overlook the dancefloor on 2 levels - the rear wall was mirrored with a cool DJ area - MASSIVE sound system and lots of lights. the back areas had food, chill out and a wine bar.
Best Thursday night I ever had - ever!
Top tunes at the time that remind me of it were the KLF's "What time is love", "Last Train to Trancentral", "3am eternal" (as the lights beamed up and down and pulsed to the beat) and Oceanics "Take me to Insanity" - 12" club mix with the build up in the middle. Also a little know band called thr Prodigy and "Charlie" - Followed by numerous pints of Blastaway (Castaway and Diamond White cider :o ) and a kebab!
Twas the place I started seeing my 1st long term gf (3 yrs just under) and it all came crashing down when some mop headed tit from a rival club from Middlesbrough (I think) set fire to the place gutting it completely - rumour was the Management wouldnt allow it to be bought over by a rival club - so the rival smashed it up - tied the clubs management to the railings on the dance floor and torched the place!
Dunno if its true or not.
Always wanted to go back and steal the neon sign over the door - never got the cahnce coz someone else did it before hand!
:roll:
Them were the dayz...
