...you care?

..any thoughts?

...come on everyone there is nothing NOTHING better than a bunch of oldies pontificating on youthful things




From 18-30 was a major part of my life ( i preffered clubbing to seeing bands for eg) but never really liked the corporate super club thing much

I think the ever-wonderful Ms Garret sums it up nicely at the end of the article:


"For every big venue that is closing, I suspect that somewhere a new underground night is beginning. Just don?t ask me where, because I?m too old and out of touch to know. Which is exactly how it should be."

If they have no cash, they need to be more creative. Went to many impromptu raves !! Health and safety would have a fit at the derelict old buildings and squats we would utilise ....The "Pop Up" phenomena is not new !!


You could only get decent house and garage music by going "underground".

A lot of the same people but Beat Route was earlier and more deck shoes, 'Flip' type place and relaxed door policy, the Wag was more Zoot Suit more yuppie feel to me, never liked it that much

I arrived in Ldn in early summer '95, spoilt for choice tended to cherry pick 'nights' rather than a club per se.

The ones that I remember as I type...


Club For Life @ Gardening Club

Renaissance @ The Cross

Clockwork Orange (post Ibiza crowd) @ The Cross

Oakenfold @ Velvet Underground

Sasha & Digweed @ MoS

Mr C @ The End

Brian Norman 'Fresh n Funky' @ Various (worked with his girlfriend so went to them a lot)


If I could've been in Ldn at another time it would've been Danny Rampling @ Shoom Club in the late 80's, hard to beat the early days of acieeeeeed... :)

Oooh numbers, you've reminded me of a few I forgot... :)

And there was one along Picadilly down in the basement, about half way along on left hand side going towards Green Park, anyone know?...

I was a regular at the Round House Old git. But love the Ibiza scene .

Was there 10 years ago but did not go to any Of the clubs.

Fat boy slim , Carl Cox and others who I couldn't name.

Like trance . Drumming, tripping lol

Too sensible now.

I once said I would never get old (or die)

Well I ain't dead yet. :)

ditto RD you have reminded me of some too, the nights rather than the club. We must have crossed paths I'm sure ;-)

just remembered another in Grays Inn Road, Holborn end, basement. Few more in Brixton that I had forgotten about too.

    • How on earth can someone like this be allowed to continue as a solicitor? Can't he just be struck off, or the equivalent?
    • There are no road works in front of Cod fellas and yesterday when I requested a stop there the driver went straight past and never stopped untill Avondale Riss. As cars have to stop because of the lights why can busses not do this? 1 minute Bloodly mindedness.

    • Thanks all, our hope was (despite the diminishing estate) he would get on with it.  Progress is glacial, it's been two years since probate was granted, that's two cold and damp winters with no heating, and not surprisingly a pipe burst. He's blames the issues on the estate agent, who separately had a dispute with him, he had a wobbly when one of the beneficiaries spoke to the estate agent.  Separately he said it was the family's fault for letting the property get into a poor condition.  It was dated, but certainly not in poor condition. There are two five star reviews on Google, and five one star: ** WARNING** This solicitor firm has to be one of the worst I have encountered. The solicitor is prehistoric in his practices and will carry out work at his own snails pace, the fax machine he uses gets turned off at 2 pm and its near impossible to get him on the phone. STAY AWAY, YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED, check the solicitors ombudsman, this firm has previous bad practice recorded.   Disgusting under no circumstances use this solicitor.For over 10 years he has not carried out the terms of a Will he has not re-invested money but has retained it.  He writes letters which are pure "Flannel" excuses for doing nothing.  You have been warned   shocking experience, delayed the whole process, told other side solicitors to not contact him as he feels pressured etc. never use.   Not fit for 21st century. No website, no email address, no electronic transfer. Very slow, very little communication.   Was not a pleasant experience dealing with this firm
