My brothers band The Androids played there in the late 70s At the end of the gig the bouncers used to play a game which involved chucking the furniture at each other (and at the band and it’s entourage) . “Duck!” They thought it funny.

TorinoJambo Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 The Lothians had loads too.

Reason I’m asking is I seem to r3call there were stairs inside the place too that led to a wee sort of balcony bit. I’ve seen folk flung over that as well! Wild it was.

There was about 10 of us but only up for the music and the vibe not the violence. Chucking out time around 2am early one Sunday morning and a hanger on to our crew shouted out "Young Clerie Derry" in the chippy a few yards up the road. One of the locals took offence, downed the rest of his pint, smashed the glass and put it straight in the guy's neck. Fortunately didn't hit anything major but probably wasn't the wisest move to make in the east of the city. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
