DuncanW Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 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."

Otta Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 I was more of a gigs or dirty rock clubs kinda guy. But I wonder if life is just too expensive now and younger people don't have the spare cash to blow at the weekend?

stringvest Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 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".

Otta Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 They may well be doing that, I was just commenting on the closures of lots of big clubs (which all probably charged a fortune for a drink).

stringvest Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 I don't know about charging fortunes for a drink, perhaps they don't earn much from drink at all, relying on entrance fees ... a lot of people get tanked up on cheap plonk indoors before they get near a club ....

stringvest Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 The music of your youth stays with you, are we all supposed to get to our forties or more and suddenly ditch all the "tunes" get into crooners like Elvis or Perry Como ????

Otta Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 No, we either keep up with modern music or we stop at a certain point and stick with what we like.Or a bit of both.I am miles out of touch with new music. And once upon a time I was a finger on the pulse regular gig goer kinda guy.

ratty Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 There was a fab club in Briston that used to host Lost. Access via an industrial lift. Strangely due to the state of my brain when I was there I can't remember the name of it.
