A man is recovering in hospital after being shot in the stomach outside a city centre nightclub police say. The man, who is in his 20s, was hit at close range by one of four shots fired from inside a black VW Golf at Niche on Sidney Street at 0415 BST.

Police said the car, containing at least two Asian men, sped off towards Eyre Street after the attack.

Why doesn't this surprise me?! The Niche is a drugs paradise so it's no wonder people there is the odd bit of violence down there. Although, I do believe that the Niche was in news a few years ago when the manager was stabbed.

It wasn't the manager I think it was his brother who was stabbed. Not sure who was shot though not really spoken to anyone who was there yet. Whoever it was that shot him they are very sad people.

According to this (http://www.sheffieldtoday.net/ViewArticle.aspx?SectionID=58&ArticleID=799784) article on todays Sheffield Star website, the club's manager was stabbed and killed back in 1998:
In 1998 the club's manager, Mike Baxendale, died after being knifed outside the premises. It was reported he was trying to control a violent confrontation which spilled out on to the street outside. Two bouncers were also stabbed.

More than enough reason for me to stay well away from the place, day or night :nono:

I heard that this asian lad had tried nicking someones chain, so the doormen kicked him out.
Then he came back down in a black golf and started shooting.

Dont think it had anything to do with drugs, just idiots that think they are living in Compton and not Sheffield.

That's what I heard aswell. I don't think they were from sheffield though.

I remember when Mike was stabbed my friends went to his funeral. Steve his brother who now owns the club and a new lap dancing joint called Goodfellas is a nice chap too.

There should be a big sign outside Niche that lets people know what they "could" be letting themselves in for if they go in or hang around anywhere near the place. From everything I've heard about the place over the years, I personally wouldn't go near it if you paid me. Life is a hard enough thing to survive without knowingly or unknowingly putting yourself in the line of fire when some idiots who think they're from "the Hood" start with all this "gangster" crap.
This mindless violence may not always be drugs related, but I know that for the most part, if you hear of something like this happening in or around Niche, you assume that it is. They should try to clean the place up. At the moment it's like a poisonous mark infecting the backstreets of Sheffield and attracting all sorts of questionable characters. And what's worse, it's sucking in normal, healthy, mostly happy people, and destroying their lives too. :(

02-06-2004, 13:43
What you don't understand is if that club wasn't there they would spill out into other clubs. Henz the reason they all go there. If that place didn't exist there would be a lot more trouble in the rest of the Sheffield Clubs believe me.

Emilychee
02-06-2004, 13:56
Personally, I never had a bad experience there. I did see a lot of trouble when i first went nearly 4 years ago, but after the doormen started body searching everyone the trouble died down.

At the first sign of trouble though the doormen would be there in a second, so i felt pretty safe.

Even though Niche has got a bad reputation, I met some really cool people in there and made some great friends. And i would rather go there than ****head clubs like Kingdom

I wasn't suggesting they close the place down, just attempt to clean it up a bit, and warn people what the club is like before they go inside, just incase some people haven't heard it's reputation, and might go in thinking it's probably a lovely friendly safe place to be. Prevention is better than cure, and if they can warn people who really wouldn't knowingly put themselves into situations the likes of which Niche has attracted over the years, then the people who don't mind the risks, or even actually enjoy being in difficult or even dangerous situations can get on with it in peace.
I wouldn't personally frequent an establishment with a reputation that goes before it like Niche has, but if other people wish to go there and are happy with the associated risks, then that's fine. Like you said, J-Blaze - better them in there than in the other clubs and pubs.
Each to their own. :)

whilst some people are saying Niche should clean the venue up etc........lets not lose sight of the reason the asians decided to let a gun off in the queue, was because they were thrown out earlier for not behavin' !!!

hardly niches fault is it??!!??

LittleWitch
04-06-2004, 09:01
Yes i agree that Niche can't be directly blamed for that, but maybe the problem is that clubs are too eager to "solve" the problem of violence in their clubs by just getting the bouncers to chuck random people out. If they were more willing to work WITH the police in potentially very violent situations, at the time of the shooting the idiots involved would have been down the police station having their fingerprints taken and their shoe laces taken off them for the night, not driving passed in a blacked out golf, letting off bullets into the queue.

Just heard from someone who was in town earlier tonight and they said there was a heavy police presence around the club, including armed officers and large riot vans. Wonder if something went off again tonight or if it was a preventative measure?

I passed by there too. I think it was just a heavy police presence but they also seemed to asking a lot of questions too. It looked as though they were trying to peice together the previous incident.

We've been going over to Niche on and off since early 1997, from where we live near Liverpool, because you can't beat those NICHE TUNES.....!!!!!

We've met some sound characters in there over the years, but, I'd also say that it is probably the shadiest venue that I've ever been to.....!!! It's dangerous going in, dangerous inside and dangerous coming out.....!!!

But isn't that what makes the place what it is....?!? If you stripped out the lawless feel to the place and got rid of that 'special' Niche atmosphere then we might as well jack it all in and go and buy season tickets for our local Ritzy club.

LONG LIVE NICHE.....!!!!!

Or that we're just the best of a bad bunch. Everytime I hear about shooting incidents it is nearly always followed by "Nottingham". Why is there so much gun crime in Nottingham?

mr.blaze
14-06-2004, 22:32
Certain cities tend to have different methods and cultures for dealing with things. Sheffield used to be well known for its knife culture. Nottingham and Manchester both have large gun cultures.

:rolleyes: That will be marvellous Niche re-opening , that means all the gangsters and molls from the Niche will be scurring back in their hole where they belong. It leaves the LIMIT as I remember it about 30 years ago a brilliant club, friendliest of people ,everybody knew everyone else, great atmosphere and somewhere where you could go and hold your head up high.

Not like in Niche head down, keep your self to yourself cause you don't know it you look in the wrong direction you probably won't get another chance to look in the right direction ever again.

Anyway if I frequented the Niche I think I would keep it to myself, wouldn't want people knowing. Back to where I started roll on opening the Niche and play them Niche tunes:hihi: :hihi:

the limit opened again as primarily a house venue, unfortunately within one week of opening the owners realised they was onto a loser, the niche dj's started playing at niche fri/sat why ? the owner made money, and big money. limit will still be how it was a few weeks ago, but not all the dj's will be playing there


how the **** can it go back to how it was 30 years ago ? when A) its not downstairs on west street no more
B) the music played then no longer attracts a crowd
C) all those "loving people" of 30 years ago, no longer frequent such a club.

By the way I've just been looking at a thread on Basscutz which currently stands at 10 pages and 145 posts detailing how you stole someones msn identity to get records for yourself by pretending to be someone who people respect, one of the tunes you've got is from my label and I know full well that it's never been given to you, so i'd be a bit carefull about posting crap like this if I were you

Channel 4 are going to try to get a slice of the action by getting the main posters on the Niche threads to be contestants on the next series of Big Brother. There will be a new theme tune (obviously a speed garage remix of the original), the kitchen will be smaller than in previous years to make room for a DJ booth and police will be on standby behind the mirrors at all times and will carry out raids on the house from time to time.

Half the pple who go on about niche are still at the diaper stage anyway--- if they wanted to go to a real club then they SHOULD have been around when the PENTHOUSE, WAPENTAKE, NELSON, BARLEYCORN & LIMIT was in their hey day's. Then they would have had something to rave about.

I once posted before please don;t spoil the Limit by sending all the C***P from the niche, At least if they need to be sent somewhere change the name of the LIMIT...:)

I don't know why the Niche/speed garage/whatever else you want to call it "scene" (the idea of which makes me laugh) is like that but if some people on a particular "scene" are obsessed with their own status within it that attracts people who want to challenge them and raise their own status.

The so-called "beefs" in the gangsta rap "game" are the most obvious example of this but not all rappers get involved in such things. There's some bickering in some rock music scenes but it very rarely goes beyond people slagging each other off in interviews which often starts with a few gobby stars who slag almost everyone off. I don't know why there's been so much bickering on the speed garage scene but it's very unusual because most of the dance music scenes of the last two decades have been the opposite of this.

The funniest thing about this is that when you look at the dance music scene as a whole the speed garage scene is a very insignificant part of it in terms of sales and musical influence. The series of 12" singles that the Aphex Twin released recently probably sold more copies than the entire recorded output of the speed garage scene during that time. The speed garage scene has had almost no influence on the wider music scene, unlike techno, house or trip hop. Whoever is King Of The Speed Garage Castle is the king of a very very small castle indeed. It's not worth fighting over.

But don't let that stop you fighting over it.

its true, the dance music scene is the complete opposite to this specific genre. Ive been to many clubs all over the world, sampling all dance music genres and none have the attitude that comes with speed garage, but i suppose thats part of the scene and that is what makes speed garage! although it wasnt always like that!!

It's part of the scene but that's only because some people have brought a certain attitude into the scene and it's been copied by others. I think it's mainly due to speed garage largely originating in the club and pirate radio scenes in London which can be very competitive (and that's a euphemism) and cliquey but it didn't have to carry on like that. However, it has carried on like that so it's no surprise that the speed garage scene has a bad reputation that other genres of dance music don't have.

Speed Garage used to be cool as fooook

Speed garage was slightly fashionable for a few months in (if I remember rightly) 1997. For a while the idea of having dance tracks that were constructed around bass lines was appealing but after a while it seems the general public seemed to ask itself "Is that it?" and concluded that it was and went off in search of something else. Sadly, a few years later a really tedious form of trance became the next fashionable one-trick pony.

Don't get me wrong. I don't dislike speed garage but I only like it in small amounts as part of a varied diet of dance music which I consume regardless of what anyone else anywhere says is new, fashionable, massive or underground. Anyone who pays attention to people who go on about how new, fashionable, massive or underground something is needs to learn how to be sceptical.

I was trying to find the figures, but in either the gold or silver MAW 10yr box sets, it mentioned the number of tracks they had put their name to. I'm sure it runs into the thousands.
Some fave MAW moments:
MAW feat. India "To be in Love" (the '99 remix is better than the '96 IMO)
MAW feat. India "I Can't Get no Sleep" (No sleep in the '95 rmx)
River Ocean "Love and Happiness"
NuYorican Soul "It's Alright, I Feel it"
Hardrive "Just Believe"
Rain, a Lil Louis Painting "Give it up"
Barbara Tucker "Beautiful People"
NuYorican Soul "You can do it"

...the list goes on...

Actually, I'm meant to be doing work. Bye.

p.s. "Work" is ace btw.
[edit:] Just remembered how ace their rmx of Gwen McCrae "Funky Sensation" is, also Slave "A Touch of Love", and their rmx of Nina Simone "Seeline Woman" was the only one worthy of (and sensitive to) such an incredible talent.

I LOVE MAW!!!and you are entitled to your opinion. as i am to mine. I think MAW are the beatles of house music. they live off a vastly exagerrated reputation and some of their output is poorthats the biggest load of toss ive ever heard!! have a word with yourself!you're entitled to your opinion as well. kindly have the courtesy to respect mine.

well it seem i've ruffled a few feathers with the MAW is overrated assertion. i'll set the record straight. i don't think MAW are terrible. just overrated, there output is huge but much of their stuff sounds the same. their reputation carries them and people seem blind and deaf to the fact that much of their stuff is awful.

admittadly some of their stuff is genius, i doubt anybody dislikes 'to be in love' i don't i play it out regularly, i also play 'work' occasionally and i was late at arriving at the decision that backfired is quality so if anybody has a copy of it spare i'd love to buy it. also as somebody said their remix of see line woman was a thing of beauty.

but

that does not make them perfect or infallible. they have made some truly awful records. i can't think of a single house producer who hasn't.

for the record i adore house and i've been playing it for years and clubbing even longer. this weekend i'll be in plug shaking my ass to whatever graeme parks spinning. come find me, have a beer, call me a **** because i don't like MAW if you like!
