The Official Event Nightclub Thread

German Roy is a legend, he's a security guard at Mothercare during the day. Haven't seen him in there on a Tuesday for ages though.

Does anyone know the other Roy, the bloke who must be about 108 with frizzy white hair who dances on his own for a bit then fucks off by 12

I Haven't been to the Event since 1990ish(The era of Vanilla Ice!! ) Do they still play cheesey pop on a Saturday night?

 

[Beach Hut]

Quite probable - par for the course.

When I used to go all the ladies danced round their handbags with pernod and blacks

 

[Knightsworld]

Yeah and all the blokes thought they were "cool" dancing on the stage. We just used to rip the shit out of them. That led to a few interesting nights

 

[Beach Hut]

Oh well - I suspect you might have punched my lights out once

 

[Biscuit]

Event. Home to the two Roys!

cheesy music, fit girls, great club.

Even when I was young enough to appreciate it, I thought it was crap. Mainstream dance music, underage drinkers, tarts etc.

Nope, not for me. Don't think it has changed.

My mum used to go there when it was The Top Rank.

Whilst we are on the subject of the Event's previous incarnation The Top Rank, it used to stage a lot of gigs (I saw the Shamen there in '92 when it had just become the event).

Some of the Top Rank gigs included:

Simple Minds (before they were famous)
The Clash
Genesis
Public Image Ltd

Among the less memorable gigs:

Boney M!

[Guinness Boy]

A loathsome dogshit hovel of a commercial super club 100% inhabited by Trevs.

Overpriced weak beer, terrible music and the enjoyable prospect of getting your head kicked in on the way home the last time I was there in about 1991. Mind you they used to have some good gigs mid week (Primal Scream, Flowered Up) and the brief experiments with Friday night raves were 'sorted'....

 

[JJ McClure]

Not been there since I got thrown out about three years ago. Quite a blessing I suppose.
