Rave clubs


The venue was horrendous

Not sure mate I was always in the balcony near the DJ box
She loved it, she went to the colosseum a couple times but the music policy changed and it got harder and faster and that’s when she hung her raving shoes up.
 
Yeah but the acceptable thing in them days. Pulled many times with consequences.

Shocking and I thank god our luck never ran out
I remember we were coming home one night in a mini bus after the Tall Trees. Half way down the A19 and there was a car up the embankment with two lads standing outside it looking at each other and scratching their heads 😂
 
Whats Printworks like??

I saw a clip of it yesterday of someone playing "Insomnia" & in fairness, it looked out of this world.
Really, really good. Went for the first time just before Christmas and the sound system took me straight to Ibiza, class vibes/set up.

That's when it turned to shit.
Sadly it's embedded in the heads of plenty with limited taste in dance music.

To be fair I absolutely love the European hardcore, Scottish hardcore and English happy hardcore from that era. Paul Elstak, Marc Smith, Scott Brown, Force & Styles etc
 
Using the white lines on the a19 to navigate home. Jesus how we didn’t die or kill someone
never drove but hated being a passenger...quite unpleasant

turned to shite when the philosophy changed and the likes of MOS opened and cream went legal...peole started judging others

No one cared who you were or what you looked like before then

Absolutely woeful.
It needed trance to give things a good kick up the arse.

I'm only on about the music.

Pallions finest discotheque 🐒 It was rough as fuck, but never saw any bother. I was only a bairn though really, fortunately it was over 16s and I had a full on beard by the time I was 14 :lol: I still listen to rave music every day, be that late 80s house up to present day Gabba and everything in between. I would have loved to have gone to Philmores, The Eclipse etc. My mam used to go to the Blue Monkey and The Venue, she must have passed the raving gene onto me.
The blue monkey and new monkey were absolute worlds apart mate
 
The clubs I can remember that I went to...

Havana (Truly class and special times)
Butterloggie's (A fantastic experience)
Back2Basics (Pile down to Leeds after Havana closed, class)
The Blue Monkey (Class in the early days, when Rave was just starting to kick off in Sunderland)
Chambers(Class as owt)
Afterdark (Went once, never really felt its vibes)
The Arena (Loved it to bits, both upstairs and downstairs)
The Empire (Class)
Tall Trees (Canny but not that boshed, much preferred the Arena)
Hardtimes (Class)
Cream (Class for a while)
The Corn Exchange (Canny)

The Happy House's that happened in Sunderland were class anarl.
