Lol @ the craig richards quote!
I like to think Rich met the request from ‘maurice’ and they had wonderful family shindig with C on the mic.
I will ring maurice actually.
zackster And lets be real; if I roll into the club and see you there I’ll know I’ve made a mistake.
Ouch 😂
zackster Erol Alkan guilty of the worst set I’ve ever heard. He makes Hernan sound like Ron Hardy.
Smallman1 Christ I miss it -
What a completely baffling and horrendous soundtrack to the video; totally out of keeping with the spirit of the club and what was played inside.
hugopal downvote for Ed for posting something where I have to agree with Hugo. Its a horrific video that in no way captures what that place was for me
zackster Some dude necked me whole bag and I spent the night stone sober!
You were doing so well until you tried to tell us you’d a bag of gear, mate. Fairy tale ruined!
A Noncero production
ehitach2 Still chuckling at the bantz on that web page this morning.
Weird site though
Mr C must have made an absolute mint out of house culture. The Shamen were shifting serious numbers when artists actually made money from record sales, plus from what i’ve read he only sold The End as the offer was off the charts. I believe he actually owned the site rather than long leased.
IndustryStandard I didn’t think he owned it, just leased it and the lease came to an end?
I thought Layo’s dad owned it
I’d assumed they owned it, but a quick Google gives the impression that they were incentivised to break their lease so the landlord could redevelop.
That Layos dad as the architect found the property and designed the space. Mr C put up a good proportion of the upfront costs from his shaman cash.
I heard Russian property tycoons bought it for wedge. They were not forced sellers and only sold as the bid was off the scale. Fair play.
Cant say i’ve ever liked a Mr C mix/ avoided him like the plague when I was going out all the time. Same with Carl Cox. Never got that either
IndustryStandard Mr C was a regular on the 4four board. Interesting character, had a very strong dislike for prog.
Did amuse me that the place was sold to be converted into flats, and then someone else opened it up as The Den for a while.
It was a great club, definitely didn’t go there enough. Saw a couple of cracking Laurent Garnier sets down there
RichM … I sometimes think that I should have gone to certain places more, like The End. Also away from London and the South East, but then you remember you were having a whale of a time doing what you were doing. There was just so much choice I tended to go to places my friends/I liked and felt comfortable. Gurnmills/MOS/Camden Palace plus lots of one offs and parties we put on ourselves. So spoilt for choice when I look back.
IndustryStandard agreed, also I was skint a lot when I was in my 20s,so couldn’t always afford to go out clubbing and get trashed all weekend!!
It was a brilliant club, no doubt. Agree on the absolute shambles that is that video though. Crap.
That video is honnendous tbf. Really doesn’t do the club justice at all
