Nightclubs

The Ritz. ‘Dance yer docs off’on Monday nights.

The Ritz sounds about right although tbf it was a while ago and memories can be sketchy. :-)

 

[Trevor Morley's Tache]

Can't remember the name of the place and this would probably be shortly before the Hacienda closed its doors but there was a place that appeared to be a converted ballroom. It was somewhere in Manchester IIRC. At nights end they played the theme to "The dambusters" and everyone ran around the edge of the dance floor then had a massive pile on.
Anyone know what the bejasus I am on about?

Discoteque Royale?

It was. Bouncy, sticky floor. Started off playing metal and hardcore/punk then segued into hip hop and dance music later on

 

[BlueMoonRisin’]

It was the Moon well before it was Drifters mate, it was also known as Hiccups at one time

Not heard it being the moon, Hiccups yes. Just before if was demolished in the delapidated state it was in it had punk gigs on. I saw The Exploited there, probably UK Subs too.

Had an upper gallery overlooking the dance floor. Only went once.
Went to Stringfellows in London a fair bit but that's largely as my best pal at the time had a friend who was some sort of Saudi Prince who held court. I never paid for a drink and always stottered out of there. I look back and shudder.
Nightclubs in Edinburgh are way better imo. Less in the way of dress codes and more in the way of having a good time.

Phillips park hall in Whitefield, Farmers Arms (Bennies) in Bury and Angels in Burnley. Was it called Cranberry Fair near Blackburn? It had a crocodile if I remember correctly.

 

[peoffrey]

The new version of The Venue near Deansgate was alright a while back. Old music on a Friday night. I didn’t feel like a perv either at 38.

 

[blue b4 the moon]

Meh The Memory Inn in Ashton was the only place to be seen.

Have flashbacks which scare me from that place....

I did enjoy R & J's in Oldham though.

Butterflies and Henry Africa's in Oldham. The ladies used to like Henry Africa's; )

In Urmston we used to have a club called Corkers, all the tables had a phone so you could call another table and chat the birds up. I guess a primitive dating app !!

Legends in Manchester (now 5th ave i think) was always a good one, The Boardwalk was my favourite of all time

 

[peoffrey]

Was 5th Ave from Legends? Always thought they were different buildings.
