Without listing a load I'll try and narrow it into a few select
Shellys - For the vibe of the place, traveling to Stoke and the anticipation on the way down the M6, meeting other people at Knutsford services before and after, getting dragged to Longton Police station after being asked if I had any "wizz" of some guy in a beeny hat........"here mate have this if you want".....bang - cuffs - vauxhall cavalier.......
Sasha, Daz Willot, Nipper,
Hippo's - As Northern Star says, a top club right on your doorstep, Clash FM, Jay & Moggy, North Manchester's finest young generation in full attendance!
The Hac - For the legendary music, the venue itself when full was amazing, the relief of actually making it in the place!
Pickering, Park, John Da Silva, Dave Haslam
The Boardwalk - A good deal of people who were pissed off with the Hac started coming across the road to the Boardwalk, great venue, top atmosphere, top music, Dave Haslam
Back2Basics - Provided salvation during the army days. Had some great nights in there on a Saturday, particularly in the Pleasure Rooms venue, always enjoyed wandering round the various floors chatting to people and listening to different tunes. The bedrooms after till 9 if you were hardcore.
Ralph Lawson, Derrick Carter, Huggy, Lee Wright
Friends & Family - one of the best nights in MCR over the past few years. Not a house club, but some of the best hip hop/funk/soul/jazz you'll here mixed by some of the best DJ's around. Completely unpretentious, the nights in the Roadhouse were top
Andy Smith, Peter Parker, Riton, Chubby Grooves, Mark Rae
(forgot to mention Oz on the central pier in Blackpool. Tripping in a packed club on a pier with a wooden dancefloor that moved was an experience) :|

oh just rememberd the zoo in openshaw,n bowlers when it first opened n when i was on the hitman n her there.ha ha
DAMO
Never heard of the 'riverside', but agree with all the others, plus The Hacienda, Legends, Shelleys, Most Excellent at the State in M/cr, The Boardwalk, Cream, Back to Basics, Eclipse, Sequins, The Thunderdome, Monroes etc. etc. etc.
Nice to see someone else who remembers The Zoo in Openshaw...that place was a laugh and had all the top names dj there (Sasha, Nipper etc.). Used to go practically every Saturday for a while (it was that good!) and also went to a few allnighters they held on bank holiday weekends; used to meet up at the 'Half Way House' pub beforehand to score some pills. Shame the gansters moved in and took over; the place pretty much nose-dived afterwards and all the top people simply moved on to other decent venues, although we always used to be bumping into each other around the North-West and beyond
He flitted off to the far east, came back for a bit, then shot off there again as far as I know!
Happy Fun...
Heres my lickle list of ting...
-Hot , Chapeltown,Leeds Astoria-89/90....jungle warrior bassbins that med ye follow thru'...Nighmares On Wax used to jock(i think)...perhaps anyone can clear this up?

he is back in the studio has just launched his own label, has just gone through some weather trauma thing but is doing great and enjoying life at present
click bowlers link under my siggy there is a write up on there plus a few hard to get mixes
or go to his punk pussy records myspace page and check the new tracks he has done (the scratch remix he actually did for me personally, i was hugely honoured)
well i live on the south coast and couldnt drive back then so didnt really venture much out of my home town but the clubs that made my life great back in the day were in no perticular order
sturns - worthing -
first time i went there was on a coach and there used to be a raffle on the way up the winner used to win extacy , i never won that bloody raffle , i did however get so messed up that some one offered me a drink i thought it was coke but it was boiling hot coffe and burnt my mouth badly and had to endure painful gurning for the rest of the night
kevs house / remix - bournemouth -
best sound system i have ever heard in a nightclub ever!! the bass used to make you feel sick , had the most open e sellers ive ever seen in a club
madisons - bournemouth
great club everyone knew eachother , had some great nights there back in the day
eclipse - never went but always bought the tape packs it was the one club i always wanted to go to
empire club - bognor regis - brilliant club only went a few times but was always fun
whiskys - bournemouth
very small but one of the first places i went to that got me into the music
raindance - matchams lane bournemouth
the biggest rave i ever went to , the only trouble was that we got ripped off on our pills and couldnt get any more than a few each for the night guttted
and i had to get home in the boot of a car as therre was no room , caught a chest infection from the exuast fumes lol

what kind a stuff did the pelican and fever play?
for me, it has to be zone.. wigan pier... golden stoke that made all the difference.... oh angels and monroes too....
Fever played pretty much anything on the go at the time. A mixed bag
Pelican played a mix early days but then moved more underground and techno later on, it was a more credible night later days when the scene went tits up here with the happy hardcore shite, Fever was gone by that time
Rhumba carried the torch for years after that
best clubs
