Would you attend my 80's club night ?.

[Uncle Spielberg]

I am marketing manager for Divadrome and we are going to lauch a night with a difference. It will be based on 80's music of all types.

It will be held in a venue in Brighton hopefully in October and will be £ 5 to get in.

It is catering for the slightly older clientelle but people of all ages are invited.

You can listen to 80's music and are encouraged to dust off you 80's gear and dress up for the night and behave like you are 20 something again and not feel uncomfortable or worry you are not looking cool which you will not get in any other club in Brighton. You can dance like a Dad at a weeding and let your hair down ( if you have any ) without ridicule.

This will be a unique and hopefully regular event. There will be a dance floor and tables/seat and you can buy wine and share a bottle or cocktails.

The venue should be confirmed in September and will be from 9pm to 2am on a Saturday or possibly Friday night.

For people who lived the era and the great music do you think you would come as I am gauging interest ?.

I think that would be popular and popular across a lot od different age groups.

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

80's music is very popular amoungst younger people now or so I hear. Studenty types are allowed but the idea is mainly 30 - 50 somethings who can relive their glory days without having to feel old or uncomfortable as people of these age ranges can still have a blast and at least pretend they are 20 something even if its only for 1 night. Upon looking for venues recently for a night out it is clear nowhere caters for this.

 

[franks brother]

I dont think i will get in to my 80s gear anymore

 

[turienzo's lovechild]

yep i'll give it a go (i'm 23)

with the right venue it could go down a STORM

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

I am very enhusiastic about this and I met the couple who are launching it and they appointed me the marketing manager. I may make a few quid but its more an exciting new venture for me and something to put my efforts into. I love 80's music and think these nights could be something special.

 

[Jam The Man]

Sounds like a plan

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

The initial night with probably be at a venue that holds 100 or so but if it takes off the Brighton Ballroom in Kemptown is perfect and holds 220 people.

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

I went to the Funky Fish club on Saturday and although it is easy going I was still 15-20 years older than most people and that club caters for slightly older people. I do not feel comfortable in that environment dancing like a Dad at a wedding.

 

[Springal]

I've always thought doing a monthly 'wedding disco' night would be ace! get it like a proper wedding disco style going on, good dj, good venue, everyone will love it!

sounds like '1985' that was up until recently on at New Hero and is currently looking for a new venue.

I may have to brush the dust off my tartans

 

[Wilko]

Hanbury Ballroom is indeed a crackin little venue. You need to be careful that it does not turn into a 'Grab a Granny' night full of pissed up little twats looking for 'Milf' action.

They are one of the venues we are considering.

70's but we may make an exception and play Bye Bye Baby.

Getting old has made my memory frazzle!

Bye Bye Baby is worth the entrance fee alone

Most 80s music was rubbish.

 

[tonymgc]

Yes, Theme it like the reflex nightclubs & you'll have a winner

 

[Vankleek Hill Seagull]

Most 80s music was rubbish.

I take it you'll be declining the invitation?

If I'm back in Blighty when one of these is being held, I will definitely pop in for a sherbet or two.
