Definitely maybe mate, it wasn't a massive club was it! Seemed like I knew half the folk in there and the rest were friends for the night, before the big meet up on the carpark near the roller rink after the last track of the night.

I nearly always started off from the Bucks Head with my Abram mates and those from surrounding areas.

Thing is, Greg Wilson also started off here breaking new hip hop/electro/boogie shizzle in 83, so it's got a lot more history than just being one of the most well known clubs in the North West

Really brings back memories of the first time, sledging on that big windy seat before some random girl came over and got me dancing

I fact, we used to take a gym bag back then with a change of clothes in, because we were soaking wet come the end of the night.
