Arse pinching???

[R J]

aye top club, the life nights were mint..not sure about the other nights.

i used to live close by too rj, but that was when i was a wee nipper..a bit young for clubbing..across the road from the bp garage..and went to the primary school there as well.

Which road ?

 

[old skooler]

life@bowlers was the blx,before the booze arrived that was.

 

[woody]

Aye, it was like that! Pretty mad really!! Top Club that was! I heard rumors a while back that Andy 'Vortex' was gonna be doin a night there, but nowts come of it, so i reckon the peeps at the lesuire complex have said a huge big fat no to it! Booooooo!!!

Sayin that, i dont reckon i would last all night in the Techno room like i used to!! :S :S

i'm sure there was a post about this a while back - i'm fairly certain that it will never be granted a license again (shame) due to all the trouble then went with it

me and butty went one night, (i'm sure it was the very first time we met pixie, tonksi, ben fisher & some of the other osaers) and two people got stabbed and someone else OD'd and died (i think)
i distinctly remember the lights comin on an the mc shoutin at everyone to get the fcuk back - that was quite bizarre to say the least

 

[Tigger]

Bowlers, hell yeah I remember it! Doubt we'll ever see the likes of that place again!

Me - 2nd from left with the blonde fringe!

There's a few others from this board on there 'n all!

 

[Biggie]

got to agree with you there tigger no where like it

Life@Bowlers was what got me into Dance music started going about 93/94 for me it had everything

the feeling whan a top tune came on and thousands of people all with their hands in the air started singing the words was just amazing(also the optional extras helped this feeling)

Yeah used to go to Bowlers quite often right back in 89-90, along with my other regulars The Konspiracy and Thunderdome (and a lot of other non-regularly, Shelly's, Studio, Man-Alive, The Academy etc etc).
Stopped going clubbing regular when they closed all 3 of them down, granted Bowlers re-opened but was never the same again imho. Started clubbing again about a year later by which time the mood had shifted mainly due to different chemical consumption trends (LSD/Whizz ---> E/Ching) At that stage (92-94) just went more or less all over the place B2B (UYR), Hard Times, Angels, The Hac, Boardwalk etc etc.

Then buggered off to Spain and stayed there.........ermm...and here I am......

Are you sure Bowler's was around that early on? The only legal massive sports centre affairs I remember from back then were the Up Front do's.

Like a few people here I wasn't a massive fan of Bowlers - it was a bit too big and inpersonal for my liking. That and no alcohol of course!

 

[Myk]

Hmmm my memory ain't great fellabut I'm pretty damn sure I went there in 1990 m8, so much so that I was into my trips back then and thats what I was defo doing back in Bowlers

 

[grad]

Which road ?

It was Life at the Pleasuredrome (Farnworth) back then (89-91) - which then moved to Life at Bowlers when the Pleasuredrome shut down...

....I know, I was there - practically every week! Bowlers was fantastic - until about 1994-5 when it began to go downhill.....

Oooops - showing my age again :$

Cookie xxx

When alcohol came along there - it totally ruined it!!!!

Nahh fella it re-opened it was the pleasuredome first m8 before they closed it...and that was where it was really at...Bowlers was never as good as the original.

 

[theshakez]

Bowlwers!!!!

Went to Bowlers on & off for about 5 years. The last time I went was about 97 & ended up talking to that bird from Ultracynic. What was her name?
Top night though!!!

 

[DJ ABSOLUTE]

bowlers will always have a special place in my heart

especially the life night's

there was always a feeling that you knew everybody in there.

i thought it was best when it was just 1 main room and a huge chill out room......long before they started selling alchohol

i worked there for 6 amazing years......it was a true rave in every way

you do still come accross night's and crowds that are truly up 4 it.......it's just different these days....but it's still good
