[Brighton] The Pink Coconut mid 80s

[kojak]

We did that once in a while, when a friend moaned about Brighton. Did it ever get called Roxy’s? But a drag for the designated drink a bit less driver.

Thursday night was 'grab a granny night'
They were only about 40

Used to see Rory in Rounder Records buying. Incredbile DJ. Ended up in Portsmouth of all places.

Rory was ahead of his time in a way. He was openly gay when others would have been reluctant. But everyone who went adored him and simply remembers this charismatic and extreme pleasant person. Other clubs would have not have been keen on some of the tracks he put on now and then

Replying to the OP I preferred Sherrys to the PC as I was younger and knew more people and when PC came around most of the people I knew were getting married and I was also going to Bentleys, Brighton Belle, Bonsoir, Pallet Rooms and loads more I have forgotten - and a special mention to The Rev in the 70s. Another great place.

Nor sure, but eventually became Atlantis before closing completely.

Pink Coconut was never as good as Sherry's, I was a glass collector there so good for getting ladies in free on the guest list.

However Coasters and Rory was always the best

[Flounce]

Same place

 

[HangletonGull]

Same place

Did you go down there? Heard loads about it, my era it was the paradox , how many times did I turn up for the Costa express hanging on a earlet Saturday morning start back in the day

 

[Is it PotG?]

Kings II.

Had a kiss off of Linda Lusardi for charidee in the awful Pink Coconut.

 

[There'll never be another]

Was touch and go getting past 'Boss Hogg' on the door at Coasters. Great times! Boystown Gang, Marshall Raven and Evelyn King

I thought it was Sherrys?

You are correct... I'm 63 and for me it will always be Sherry's; New Romantic club nights and The Psychodelic Furs playing there spring to mind

It was the Paradox in my Brighton days of 96-98. Getting thrown out of there after being chucked out of the Event over the road on the same night ranks as one of my greatest nightclub achievements.
