All they way through, they were chanting YLT. On the way back, they were even worse. They put the back window out and damaged all the seats. Whole coach was escorted to a police station, where we were questioned and held for ages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had many good nights though, alot with the football guys I played with back in the early 90s at the time. I also remember a wee club down Queensferry Street Lane I went to around 96 as a teammate knew the guy that owned it. Can’t remember it’s name though? Music was cracking. Mainly house music. Out of them, I preferred The Biz or The Red Hot. The Biz in particular. It was just off the back of the rave scene and the place was heaving as more and more people had to head for the clubs. The music was varied but decent, keeping away from cheese. The Red Hot was handy for an end of night kebab from Topkapi before the long walk home to the Calders. Taxis just kept blanking you because they wanted back into the town centre for a bigger fare😁 That’s not why they were blanking you😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marvin Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 (edited) Anyone from the borders may know The Sporty (at least I think that what it was called) in Kelso (went just before the Millenium with an ex around 22 years ago). It was just a shitey school sports hall with a small hifi and a makeshift bar. It was terrible Edited July 27, 2020 by Marvin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jack D and coke Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 Some mentions of places in here I’d completely forgot about...memories of being utterly melted The Carbolic Frolic was one I went to for a year or two in shandwick place in what is now the lap dancing place, is it Fantasy Palace? One of my first times in there was my 21st, copped a love dove 10 mins before going in and my mate said I just fell like a tree onto my face on the dance floor. 2 mins after that was having the time of the life🕺🏼Spend ages lying on the big double bed talking bolloks to any poor lassie that happened to be there. Was at The Studios a lot but forget the name of the night atm. Latterly was Bongos and Babes. Loads of the places mentioned in here, jeez I’d forgotten how much I used to go clubbing... Pure was good but **** me it was loud, I reckon your ears were permanently damaged after one night in there.

Vlad Magic Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 Did any of you miscreants make it to Translucent at the Venue? Ran on the Friday night after Pure closed? 1998-2000 maybe just into 2001? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray Gin Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 The Venue, Mercado, Wilkie House, The Honeycomb/Cabaret Voltaire, Liquid Room, Berlin Bierhaus, Sub Club, The Arches. Good times.

I can't justify it to myself now that I am responsible for other wee humans. The music is still great though, and I still get that tickly tummy sensation despite the lack of buffalo bills.

Last time I went was a few years ago, no bairns for me so I was still on the Bill Leckies. Felt ****ing ancient though. Either there's a higher ratio of 18 year olds in clubs these days or I just noticed them more because I'm an old git. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye it's because you're an old git. 😁 After a rake of tequila and a couple of teeth rattling bass lines I generally don't give a **** anymore tbh. I do recall a team of older bevvied growlers at the bar back in the Paradox/Solution days and on the balcony at the Music Box too, so there is historical precedent.

Ribble Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 This thread bringing back some very hazy memories! The Venue on a couple of occasions before it closed Mercado nightspot of choice for about a year when i'd just turned 18 as a couple of guys I played football with were involved in one of the nights The Honeycomb/Cabaret Voltaire - usually when I couldn't get in somewhere else Liquid Room mostly after gigs Cav on more occasions than I'd like Studio 24 for 5-6 years before it closed The Old Mission at victoria street before it was espionage The park in dalkeith Dj'd at Opium and Banshee labyrinth Both subways Oh and i'm also familiar with the Grafton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tazio Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 One for the connoisseurs. The infamous Hotel Gassed All Weekendo (sometimes written as one word). From the late eighties Edinburgh’s most debauched club night, resulting in the tabloids having an unhealthy obsession with it. I think it became quite “normal” by its early standards eventually but I’d stopped attending by then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beardbeer Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 I remember starting a night at Lord Tom's on Lothian Road then on to red hot, network or amphitheatre before it changed to century 2000. Charlstons basement club on George Street was ok if anyone remembers there? I used to travel to Room at the top (met the wife there she's from Craigmillar!) Rosies in Falkirk and the Fubar. The Ballroom was crap in Dunfermline though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
