stewie 3,387 Posted May 4, 2013 Report Share Posted May 4, 2013 Saw Tony De Vit last set he played in the hippo club cardiff just before he died.R.I.P.I used to love the Hippo mate, awesome club! I was up there most weekends though the back end of 98/99! Best time of the night was usually when the headline DJ had fecked off and Ollie J got on the decks! Saw many top DJ's there, Pete Tong took a spliff off my mate in the room downstairs and caned it all one night, the boys weren't impressed! I could always be found by the big speaker next to dj both next to fire exit used to see mad fuckers jumping from the railway track above trying to get in plaster falling off the walls the submarine chill out room,mens toilets-lol-no doors spend abit of time in the ladies them were the days boys Spot on, great times! The bass in that club was unbelievable, like you say used to shake the plaster off the walls! Used to be at its best from 12 until 6 in the morning when things were in full flow IMO and all the drinkers had fecked off and everybody left was flying! Some real good, if hazy memories from my many nights out there! Used to leave there at 6 and catch the first train back to Pembrokeshire. Only used to have to wait about 20 minutes, it was fantastic! f*****g shite welsh plasterers................ Mate the place was fit to be condemned but I've had the best nights out there I've ever had. Think it's been demolished now.. i bet mate!!! some of the best nights of my life were had in an old carpet warehouse turned into a club lol thats what them days were all about, just getting out and enjoying yourself were ever poss lol 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
