my old nite life


Romeo & Juliet's

This former club, which was also named Bailey's and Skyline in its time, used to be on the top floor of the Co-op building in Jameson Street. Dress code was strict, with a ban on wearing denim
worked here repairing the tears in the furniture, met loads of great girls here and listened to major soul and disco as l grew up

of course not mentioned much was NewYork on Anlady road this was our place for

 Northern soul on a Tuesday evening

Trog Bar.

This George Street bar was designed to look like a cave with stone walls and was a pretty big deal big among the rock progressive music fans too low and small for groups but the DJ was fine, heard stuff like steel pulse,dire straits and jimmy lindsey `where is your love now`
Later on in the decade it was transformed into Lasers, where dry smoke was regularly pumped out and you could watch laser shows. It was nicknamed "can bar" as you could save time waiting for a pint to be pulled by getting a can

Tower. 

With no heirs and graces, on Thursday nights you could get a pint for 10p until midnight, which subsequently meant drinkers did not manage to stay in the club for much more than an hour.
The carpet was famous as it had that much beer spilled onto it feet stuck to the floor.
our kid was a resident DJ here for a while

Welly Club here was a venue l DJ and boxed at.

This Beverley Road club was the first to do a regular Acid House dance night in Hull from 1988.
Remembered for being very hot with lots of bandanas and arms flailing everywhere, not much has changed in the popularity on the place.
The music l grew up made me emotionally and spiritually the man l became
here above some of the venues (that are all gone now) Where l was trying to dance and socialise

MAYBE WE WON`T MEET AGAIN

. . . she got a postcard in the mail
That just said Heaven,with a picture of the ocean and the beach
The simple words he wrote her
Said he loved her
How he'd hold her if his arms would reach
Wish you were here, wish you could see this place
Wish you were near,Wish I could touch your face
The weather's nice, it's paradise
It's summertime all year and there's some folks we know
They say, "Hello, "
I miss you so, wish you were here"
