dive

First one in Sheffield was Cairo's and I was 18 (just arrived at Uni). It was something else for a while, and then it went on to be Corporation, and then it got knocked down!

The first club I went to was The Limit (West Street).
It was great.

First club I ever went in was a club called Caverns in Bradford.
I was about 15 and if I remember rightly I got drunk and fell asleep in the ladies loos!

they did insomniacs there for a bit - yuk place, glad they knocked it down.
my first was leadmill - now i wouldnt be seen dead, although i hear they used to have good bands on - not the oasis type/tripe

leadmill ......
when i was 16 went with my mum (she's cool)and a friend (celebrating my new saturday job) we went to yorkshireman (mum knew all the best places to drink) then on dancing to the leadmill where i got a bit drunk - later in the evening my mum
unfortunately caught me having a bit of a snog with some bloke very embarassing.......

i meant corp/cairos for insom. anyone remember the NCPM, it was pretty cool in there

I think my first club was a place in Grantham.. I be damned if I can remember the name :confused:

Rebels on Dixon lane.

My first time in a night club was Roxy's when I was 22 years old.

First club i went to in Sheffield, bearing in mind that i was 18 on my first visit, was Pulse and Vouge. At the time i thought it was amazing. I was only used to small dirty dives in Cumbria at the time. Looking back now... It was a dive!

I don't know how this has happened but the above post which I have just posted was displayed under a different name - cellerhigh????:confused:

The first time was a visit to Treetops that used to be part of Tiffany's/Locarno, then there was the club in NetherEdge and I can't remember what it was called. Luckily I discovered the Wap and the Penthouse on Dixon Lane in which I celebrated my 18th birthday.
Nowadays all the club goers look so young and the music??? isn't music anymore, bring back the Leadmill 60's and 70's Thursday night and bands like Martha and the Muffins and Pallas

I was a rather late starter............

19 at Pulse/Vogue.

Cheesy but what a place - spent most friday/saturday nights in there until it closed:(

Went there on Millenium Eve - most friends went next door to Don VAlley as IIRC Gatecrasher was there. Got abit of stick for choosy the cheese - but OMG what an atmostphere :clap:

Mat:thumbsup:

Corporation aged 18, it was crap.

Simple as that ;)

Some club near Bath. Rare bad!!
The went to see Rossetta Stone in Worcester, gothtastic :)
First club in Sheffield was Kiki's also very bad!
:partyhat:

Capitol (what a place!) when I was 15

i was 17 and in california....... the washinroom

ROXY'S when i was the ripe old age of 15!. I went on work experience and was duly told that i was required to go to the nightclub with the staff.

Rebels, 17 years old.

Republic when i was 16 , went to presentation night for GCSE results , everybody down to berlins then reppo afterwards.I loved it then and we went down just about every friday night for a year or so after that ,then that slowed down and we tryed other clubs realised rep wasnt all that and i went on thursday for the 1st time in 8 months and hated it. **** music , ******s in there with mullets and suit jackets on (even one tosser in a vest ,sweat head band and jumper tied round his waist!)and no atmosphere what so ever left by 12 and went to late bar (Y)

First club I went to was corporation, aged 13. It always has been a haven for kids, and probably always will be. Can't believe it hasn't been closed down.

Ripe old man of 22 now who seeks his pleasures in flea pits.

Rebels at 16. Fantastic place. Hello to all you rebels people! :)

Roxy's when I was 18.

<delurk>

Pulse and Vogue when I was 18, on student night.

Was a bit scared as I had never been to a club before, but ended up just getting hammered and had a top time.

Funny thing is I now work in that building! :gag:

omg This is going to make me sound old ..........

Romeo and Juliets cant remember how old I was but I do remember they used to ask what area you were from before you got in :)

Dont know if it is just seemed like it but nightclubs always looked cleaner and more upmarket in those days.

The first club i went to was Capitol (dont know what its called now) , it was amazing and always played classics first about a year before the charts, it seems like a dive now i look back but i was only 16 and it was like an after school club with older boys and amazing music. Oh and friday night was Rise, amazing ive never been to those bank holiday nights though because i dont want to spoil the memory of dancing till they turn on the lights at the end.

first club was wow, when i was 16!!!

dump

Xanadus is Chessie (16/17 years old)

I felt old:thumbsup:

First club at all - Electric avenue in Doncaster. Well I did live there then. Oh no, two admissions in one post.... Aaaargghhhh. :gag:

First Sheffield club - REBELS, Yorkshire's number one rock club! (it says on the T-shirt). :headbang:
I' wor greet. Miss the place badly. I really miss getting glammed up for Monday Rock nights at Roxy's too. Rock's moved on a bit since, and I don't look good in clumpy flat boots. :(

my first club would be the beach in rotherham :( i was 16 it was fun at the time

belperite i work in the building that used to be pulse/vogue do you work for plusnet or insight?

I remember Romeo and Juliets (and it's later incarnation Cairo-Jax), they used to have "couples only" nights, and you had to wear proper shoes, trousers and a "smart" shirt to get in.

Anyone else from Insight/Plusnet ?

My first club was in Rotherham with a school mate who lived there when i was 14, think it was called Revolution. It was horrible!!

Cause they're in the middle of nowhere?

and are pooh, i wish they would open roxys again haha

My first club was Isabellas (sic?) when I was 16 - 6th form do! Was abolutely hammered. Memorable because one of mates was on his back and we were telling him to have one more and he would be in heaven! We didnt mean literally but he almost made it!!

I have to ask as I'm puzzled. Didn't Corporation open in 1997 at Bank Street? If so how could you have gone to Corp when you were 13 as that would have been in 1995 and it simply didn't exist then. I know Mutley did The Drop at City Hall on Fridays and Reservoir Rocks at the NMB on a Saturday back round about 94/95 ish - are these where you went??????

Sorry if I'm coming across as a bit pedantic, I'm really not - just checking that senile dementia isn't setting in 'cos I went to the opening night of The Corp and I am SURE it was 1997!!??!!

Monroes in Torquay which was turned into a gay club and then a decent dance venue then closed down and then (now) is probably not there!

Drop wasnt always at City Hall, it was back at what was the Palais/Music Factory/WhateveritsCalledNowOnLondonRoad....before that. They swapped between the two depending on whether students were about or what they felt like! :)

I was going there in 1992 when i was 16 (yes Im old). Corp did open in 1997 or thereabouts though.

The Krazy House in Liverpool 11 years ago when I was 16. Was into grunge and metal back then. First club in sheff would have been the music factory (Old Bed) I think when i was visiting x-girlf. Then started going to the old corp when i moved here (at 20). Then tried Gatecrasher against all of my principles at 21 and loved it. Went quite a lot, until it started to annoy me. Went to bed quite a lot until it started to annoy me. As mentioned, Urban gorilla and chibuku are probably my current favorite clubs.

Krazy house is a top club! Went to liverpool to visit friends. Quality night out! :)

JB's Dudley to see Hi-On Maiden! :rock:

NO!!! :thumbsup:

can't really remember, may have been cairo's, or the drop under city hall, or possibly h2o in rotherham or the only large club that rotherham has (who's name escapes me). Either way, it was when i was 15 or 16.

When you say Corp didn't open until 97, when did that venue open as Cairos?

Cyclone you on about the zone???

My first was at 14 got all suited (silver - well it was 1985) up and went to sheff with friends

First place went to (in suits)

Wapantech!!!!!

Out of place -me thinks - quickest i have ever downed a bottle of newqy brown in my life

Then went to precinct in roth (run by the now convicted heroin dealer) what a kack hole that was but it ended up being the first club i dj'd in at 16.

crap club but at least you know where you stood with the crowd, if the didnt like you would just come up and tell you. - Nice place

yes, the zone. I hope that wasn't my first club. I suspect it was silks and then Cairos. Is the zone still there?

Closed down at last in September. re-opening this month as Diva and Liquid.

We did get a few people in suits every now and then usually they were trendies 'slumming it' No problem with that but some of the more 'stuck up' girls had the oddest expressions on their faces.

good ol' republic at the respectable age of 15, have to say its gone downhill since but i guess its not as fun when your legally allowed to get in. not a fan of the gay gatecrasher refurb tho...

steely's, loved it and went nearly every week for ages.....aka roxy's

first ****ty club- the zone in rotherham- im actually gonna go when it re-opens- they stripped out EVERYTHING on the inside and compleatly rebuilt it apparantly- 3.5million spent!!

but my first PROPER club was gatecrasher, i went in february 2001 and have loved it ever since, i have now moved to sheffield and am living with friends that i met through clubbing and have mates from all over the country that i met through there, it sounds pretty sad but it totally transformed my life and my lifestyle.

Speaking of which- anyone going to crasher tomorrow night, i know its a wednesday but its only a fiver to get in and matt hardwick, stevie g, riley and durrant and JFK are all playing trance all night long :D :D

Liquid and Diva opens Thursday - ring them for details

It opens even earlier for contracters i believe, i think i have gotten my hands on a couple of tickets too- wahoo- free drinks :D :D

I was 15 and it was corporation.

My first club was the quite horrible Ritzys in Derby (cheap drinks student nite).. first club in sheffield was probably DROP @ City Hall, I barely missed a night around 95/96, it was wicked.

Its sooo crap for clubbing in shef now.. not felt at home anywhere since Remedy finished at PoNaNa...
