mono-stereo I missed the last ever Renaissance @ The Cross, because I got mugged in Delhi, my passport got nicked, and it took me another 3 weeks to get home. Cunts.
Nightclubs closing
vinnyt77 Nightmare. It was a great send off for the club. One absolute banger after another with a middle aged crowd who where up for it.
mono-stereo “No Vinny, it was shit, you definitely didn’t miss much….”
Lol, wot a cunt

Look I’m not trying to overplay it.
If it wasn’t for the giant gak filled Piñata exploding over the dance floor, or 80s stunner Sam Fox getting her massive tits out to der dritte raum hale bop it would of been decidedly average.
mono-stereo I was there. Absolutely battered so I was.
Was there too, in the Ossia & Dawson arch all night, was absolutely fantastic.

Lol!
As I was leaving either of Ossia & Dawson dropped this, remember thinking ‘Derm would have loved this.’
Along_the_Wire same here pal.
This is worth a listen….
Part of Ian’s set from that night.

They played live at both 1st and 2nd Renaissance birthday parties and it was absolutely mint. At the 2nd, Heather Small was dancing by us and she made me feel like Dermot Small and her Heather Tall. She had to be at least 6ft 2 in heels. Massive headlights too. She was with Martin Offiah who looked like he was properly off his shopping trolley but maybe just mesmerised by the thought of drowning in her bangers later.
I’m all in for integration so shook both their hands and welcomed them in Swahili. 
Along_the_Wire Same. Great, great evening.

Fucking lol!
Cankles-McJeggings Looked like a good space. Its sad seeing old iconic clubs in their skeletal state or when they get knocked.

Yeh for sure . I’ve never been back to Mansfield but it’s now a car park. I went to see the hac when it got changed into flats and that was a bit weird, didn’t really bother me though. The worst for me was Shelley’s as its only 15 mins up the road and we went to see it not that long after it got levelled and developed. It’s so far removed from how it was you can’t actually tell or even imagine where it was at all. There’s a dual carriageway running through it, a supermarket and a carpark. Was a proper gut wrencher seeing that. Felt like a part of growing up had been taken. Someone posted a pic of Mansfield and that was pretty much the same story. Shelley’s was a shit hole full of rats to be fair but Mansfield was a pretty grandiose building and I think an historical theatre. Wouldn’t be surprised if it was listed.
