...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.

    • The solicitor is also the Executor. Big mistake, but my Aunt was very old, and this was the Covid years and shortly after so impossible to intervene and get a couple of close relatives to do this.  She had no children so this is the nephews and nieces. He is a single practitioner, and most at his age would have long since retired - there is a question over his competence Two letters have already gone essentially complaining - batted off and 'amusingly' one put the blame on us. There are five on our side, all speaking to each other, and ideally would work as a single point of contact.  But he has said that this is not allowed - we've all given approval to act on each others behalf. There are five on her late husband's side, who have not engaged with us despite the suggestion to work as a team, There is one other, who get's the lion's share, the typicical 'friend', but we are long since challenging the will. I would like to put another complaint together that he has not used modern collective communication (I expect that he is incapable) which had seriously delayed the execution of the will.   I know many in their 80s very adept with smart phones so that is not an ageist comment. The house has deteriorated very badly, with cold, damp and a serious leak.  PM me if you want to see the dreadful condition that it is now in. I would also question why if the five of us are happy to work together why all of us need to confirm in writing.             The house was lived in until Feb 23, and has been allowed to get like this.
    • Isn’t a five yearly electricity safety certificate one of the things the landlord must give for a legal tenancy?
    • Very sorry to hear this, but surely the landlord is responsible for fixing the electrics?  Surely they must be insured for things like this? I hope you get it all sorted out quickly.
    • The Pie House Co-op Deptford Emergency Crisis - Needs YOUR Help. This not-for-profit, worker-run, wheelchair accessible music and arts venue at 213-214 Edward Place SE8 5HD THE CRISIS: From Liv, Grace & Sonia, On Friday 31st October, there was a flash flood in Deptford, and we found ourselves with water pouring in through the lighting fixtures, damaging our electrics and sound system. We have been forced to close for one of the busiest weekends of the year, losing thousands of pounds in income, and are now having to fight our landlords for support with the leak. We are asking all our allies for support as we try and reignite the crowdfunder to reflect the new expensive work that needs to take place, and the gear we need to replace. Thank you in advance for your support so far, and your support going forward. If you have any ideas with getting media attention, or fundraising - please get in touch on [email protected] Even if you like myself have not previously visited this venue, supporting small not for profit venues are vital to the life blood of what 'commmunity' is all about. HOW YOU CAN HELP: 1) If you are an electrician and can offer to help for free or at cost, please email: [email protected] Your help would of course be acknowledged. 2) If you are a Sound Engineer and can offer to help for free or at cost, please email: [email protected] Your help would of course be acknowledged. 3) If you are a journalist or have connections with the local and wider media (Print, on line, TV, Radio, please email: [email protected] 4) 'Every Little Helps' even just £1 will make a difference, please support the crowd funder: https://www.crowdfunder.co.uk/.../piehouse-workers-co-op... Via insta @piehouse.coop there is a video (see screenshots here) THANK YOU.
