The 90s were when the North was actually worth visiting, the whole M62 corridor was buzzing and even shit holes like Stoke and Brum had top nights out.

All except derby. That was wank. They had the Pink Coconut, that was all.

Leeds was a good night out as was Sheffield.

Birmingham is still a decent night out; you just have to know where to go these days.

In the 90s you just stumbled out of one mad bar into another.

I think its always been a nutty night out. Kenny Burns didnt want to sign for us because he loved the night life there so much.

Youre probably right. The music is still mint. If you think about Stone Roses being 89, 31 years ago, then take yourself back to 89 and rewind 31 years to 1958. How many songs endured? Maybe the odd Buddy Holly song. Our scene was top.

You're almost edging into the sixties though and to be fair that was a completely revolutionary time for music with many bands enduring having changed the face of music forever.

Brum had Wobble, Renaissance, GodsKitchen, Miss MoneyPenny's etc. Rarely did the bar thing apart from to get up...

Renaissance was very cool tbf.

Leeds was my favourite 90s city, followed by Liverpool and Manc. Up Yer Ronson at the Pleasure Rooms was glorious

Don't make df come on and tell you just how crap The Beatles were

 

[JC21]

I'm fairly sure I was at that one.

They did an Inspiral Carpets cover version as part of the encore, along with G I Blues, if it is the same concert I am thinking about.

This Is How It Feels

Shelleys was fucking brilliant in Stoke (maybe a little bit before your time though)> Even Coventry had the Eclispe

Dont forget the rock one, they had two. Probably hasnt changed but i do remember being chuffed to get in pink coconut on a weds for grab a ganny night as we knew the 25 years and above night. It was probably 25 years ago i last went for a night in direby

Happy days lmao

 

[radfordinlondon]

Was the assembly rooms in Wolverhampton? Saw pop will eat itself there. Some cracking music venues in the west mids

 

[JC21]

To be fair, Derby had Progress which was alright

Golden at the Void was a top night.

 

[JC21]

Let's not forget good old Skeg in all this and the Promised Land and

Brum had Wobble, Renaissance, GodsKitchen, Miss MoneyPenny's etc. Rarely did the bar thing apart from to get up...

Moneypenny's was good - "Queer As Fuck" though as their own massive lettering used to say., Music Factory at Sheffield also good and Cream at Liverpool.

Manumission in Ibiza

Let's not forget our very own Limos and Venue 44/Renaissance/etc in Mansfield and Promised Land and Pleasuredome in Skeg though

I went to Moneypennys on the odd occasion; only because I could get in for free.

I know the Ryan's who ran the Club, Mick, Dermot and Jim, who did the DJing.

They had this cross dressing freak who would mince about the place; the Ryan's paid for him to stand at the Tatton Bye Election against Hamilton and Martin Bell in the 90's.

A mate went on the campaign trail with them; he said it was an almost surreal experience

For a short period Brum had the hummingbird too which was a cracking night out if you liked the alternative music scene.

while it’s easy to condemn Burnley we probably have stupid bastards like this in our fan base.

Of course all lives matter but that isn’t the point at the moment.

You're right... but also a bit late and on the wrong pip, chap.
