It was late 89. The blue monkey was running a night called Ibiza or something and it was a fiver in with all your drink included,,,,hence 10 cans or red stripe. Cutting to the chance the music wasn’t great and it was full of fighting. We plus others had this grand notion of putting a night on where the music would range from hip hop, piano house right through to Detroit and Belgian techno, with something in between. This was shot down and the management were having none of it. The Djs were reluctant to play this too, however I’m a little unsure if that was the management or the Djs. Any how’s this didn’t take off , therefore we went in another direction. Next thing maybe early 1990 ish, my memory I know,,,the blue monkey seemed to change into a rave club over night. The rest as they say is history.
I think pre rave night they did a night with Rozalla as a guest. Place was rammed packed and there were these gyro things with people strapped in them on stage. Very odd but fun. Not the rozalla bít.
just before my time there, so thanks for the info. i'd heard about the "Ibiza" nights, but was too young to have gone.
