Great little vid about Progress

[chinatownswhite]

I always wanted to go the Eclipse but never made it the tapes were banging. I did go to progress at the conservatory once had a good night as i remember. Also did go to a few hardcore nights at Kinetic@Longton Lesuire bowl and Quest in Wolverhampton but as you say the vibe did get a bit on the moody side at the hardcore nights so we switched to house nights, the ladies were always dressed to impress at the house events anyway

The Engine! thats the bugger i couldnt remember the name of the pub. i cant imagine it as a proper boozers pub it was always full of clubbers with a DJ banging out the tunes when i went in there I know the chippy your on about i dont think i ever seen it open when i was there not that i remember anyway, but i am sure i have qued passed the doorway on many a night, its a small world

Bowlers was definitely my club of choice had so many top nights in there also no dress code so you could go scruffy as you liked, your mate would have liked it at its peak there was 4500 clubbers every week from all over the country, with residencies from welly, vertigo, stu allen, rob tissera, bowa ect it never failed to deliver a night of top tunes and plenty of madness. aaah memories

Sounds like we may have shared a dance floor once or twice at some point in the 90's you never know I never went north of the border for a night out either but i hear good things about the rave scene up in Scotland the few tapes i have heard from rhumba are rather good so might of missed out there, you cant have everything i suppose. Gutted i missed out on those early days of the illegal parties that must have been fun!

Me and my lot did wonder on a few occasions just how many miles we had racked up going out every week and how much money we had spent on going out but that got rather scary when you thought about that to much
I took these photos the day i moved out of my mothers house for posterity they tell a tale of my clubbing through the mid 90's

I think the Dj in The Engine came in the later yrs when they knew they could cash in.
Regards the chippy being open, even if it was im not sure anyone would be capable of eating anything

Yep its a deffo a small world, some nice flyers on that wall

And yes deffo the girls in the house clubs really made an effort.
