Feck I'm old.

I went to shoom once just before it shut down and had some good night's at Astoria around 91ish

Oscars all nighters on clacton pier in the early to mid 90's were as good as it got for me. Where else could you drop an E & feel the floor bouncing, watch the sea, meet people from Cornwall to Glasgow, ride on a fairground waltzer & chill out stroking a stingray all in one night? Magic times for sure......:-)

Yes. I spent more time than I should of in clacton. It was just up the road from me. My brother-in-law was head doorman at the Rockinghorse for many years.......which was real spit & sawdust!

 

....but Oscars in those early days really captured the spirit of the rave scene....;-)

This thread stirs up some memories for me!! Tinged with a little depression as i will never get them days back.. Such an enjoyable and liberating period in my life.... The institute and the que club in birmingham, the sanctuary in MK, bagleys in kings cross to name a few.

 

Me and my mates were committed travelling ravers, seems a lifetime away now. Family, mortgage etc makes me feel trapped when i think about them days.

 

BUT, all good things come to an end and we must grow a little more sensible when we get older(not to much though), family life suits me now but id give a lot to be back there now just for one night with youth on my side

I really like the Custard factory in Birmingham..........none of that dress code bullshit, though I quite liked Ms Moneypennys as well...;-)

Following on from the rave scene i was a sometimes weekly visitor to the custard factory when the club bit was called the medicine bar. It was a very early venue for the emerging breakbeat scene. Stanton warriors, freestylers, plump djs etc. They would drain the pond, put a marquee over it and party all night. A lovely friendly place to go when the rave scene was being infected by moody tossers and mc's who you couldnt understand. The resident, dj kahuna played an unbelievably good set every week without fail

And the girls were very presentable to say the least

I'd almost forgot it was called the Medicine bar :-) My mate lived & worked in Birmingham & that place was one of our favourites for a while. I sat round that pond quite a lot & I remember the security were relaxed ;-)
