[QUOTE="Stanton, post: 846359, member: 19200"] Gatecrasher when it was at The Arches down the Wicker. This was before it got taken over by the Crasher Kid tossers years later in town. The venue at The Arches was brilliant, a club in the arches of the Wicker railway viaduct. There were several floors, dance floor being on the ground. You got in the club higher up climbing internal stairs, then came down onto the dancefloor and you could see in the booth as you came down the steps. Remember getting a birds eye view of Carl Cox playing three decks at once and cutting between them all. The crowd were really good and the place got rammed. Walls used to drip with condensation. There was a good mix in there with people really friendly. It was the first club I got taken to by some mates who were already into it. I was into indie and punk mainly but getting more into dance music. It was the whole atmosphere that blew me away - I was expecting to go into a 'night club' with all the beered up aggro and shit which was de rigeur in the early 90s. What I got just blew my mind. People just being nice - fer fuck's sake, that was so out there in those days, sad to say. And glam as well. As said, I was into the indie scene which wasn't noted for girls being dressed like something out of a fashion party magazine. An this place was just full of the coolest girls - like where had they come from :confused: And it was suddenly ok for a bloke to dress up, be a bit outrageous, without getting your head kicked in for being ' a poof'. I loved that, I was able to buy some nice stuff. Wish I could remember more about those nights though. I guess if I could then I couldn't have been there :D Like djperkins says, so sad there isn't the visual footage to record that scene. By the time it started to get filmed it had become corporate and changed. [/QUOTE]
