View Full Version : The state of clubbing in Sheffield
pottero6 14-03-2005, 10:00 I recently read an article about "the death of club culture" and am interested to know what you all think of this, especially with regard to Sheffield's scene.
Do you think that the scene in Sheffield is dead or just different? If it's just different, then what's changed about it recently? Is it better or worse than it used to be?
I'm a little bit undecided at the moment but all i do know is that i always enjoy myself when i go out! I'd be interested to read your views on the subject.
Agent Gypo 14-03-2005, 10:16 There are plenty of great nights out there, the best ones tend not to be at big clubs though.
There are a few dj's on here with their own nights, and the Reflective, Jackhammer and other underground techno and garage nights get a loyal following.
I've found that going to places like Transmission and some of the newer nights like Razor Stiletto have been far better nights out than Gatecrasher, Leadmill, Kingdom, Corporation etc. We've had some great feedback from our night Dirty Cheese too.
Big, naff, generic nights like Gatecrasher inspire people to get off their behinds and put something different on.
mjlacey21 14-03-2005, 10:34 The drum and bass scene is either dying or on maternity leave. A couple of years of so back there was a good drum and bass night on 4/5 times a week and now there's Sneak monthly - which is great, but Zero does only have the one room - rooms at other nights and the occasional D&BA or somesuch. It's not in the same league as it used to be.
Sigh....
compared to 2001 sheffield has died a total death- clubs like gatecrasher, insomniacz and the republic midweek have all lost most of there customers. Now there is still a scene but the problem now is where to have it- there isn't enough venues for the nights that want to start and as such the whole scene is suffering!!! It says somethingwhen zero is the busyest club in sheffield- i like the place but its only a 1 room little club!!
50,000 students in sheffield and we can't keep them entertained- the council needs to start giving licences out instead of turning them down.
Agent Gypo 14-03-2005, 11:18 The Arches re-opens in a few months, hopefully this will see some of the up and coming nights find a home.
mjlacey21 14-03-2005, 11:33 I was told that there may have been given planning permission for flats or something near the arches so even after it reopens then it may be shortlived. Last time wasn't the only thing they could get pulled on the lack of disabled access - i reckon they will try to find a way to shut the arches again whatever happens.
there is drum and bass every single week if you look
sharkeys on a wednesday,the bass bar
soon to start at sharkeys on thursdays(hopefully) a night me and some freinds are doing,which will be dnb
Drum and Bass Arena
sneak
etc...
but sheffield has gone downhill
theadore 14-03-2005, 12:47 it seems that people are determined to live on the doorsteps of all the best clubs in sheffield... and as soon as they live there, they complain and shut down the nightlife they wanted to live next to anyway.
i would like to see a complete shift away to underground, constantly changing venue clubs... try to make something of a scene again rather than just opening a few big clubs and sticking with it, but unless there are more licences the town will really start to suffer.
mjlacey21 14-03-2005, 12:52 There's a huge difference between the atmosphere somewhere like Sharkeys and that of a big club. While the night at Sharkeys is nice enough - no disrespect meant to Henry and the guys, but it's still more of a pub night than clubbing. Sheffield used to have big drum and bass nights in big venues with big Dj's all the time, pulling in the crowds and that's what I mean is missing, I'm fully aware of what's on but it just isn't the same.
Same with trance- the republic used to have jules and hardwick on there on a tuesday night- and now what? another crap uninspireing cheesy night!!!!
mjlacey21 14-03-2005, 13:22 I always rated Steem that used to be on wednesdays at Bed. For a mid-week club night it was wicked and usually full.
dimitrysoul 14-03-2005, 13:25 Some interesting views.
I know Hustle wont be everyone's shot of vodka but it is an event in Sheffield that is very strong and attracts over 500 every month. In other words its a Sheffield success story.
Being a Sheffield person that now lives outside of the city its very interesting to look in. Why do people have take the negative route.
Hustle is one year old this month. When I think back to this time last year, the clubbing calendar was in an even worse state then than now.
While I accept things aint what they used to be (as in years ago) , many people from outside the city look at events like UG (and yes Hustle) with a certain amount of jealousy.
While ever there is a lack of venues in the city though I must admit, it will be difficult to see where another event can fit in.
At the risk of being moved can I just add that we are trying hard to give a little variety as promoters and have created a new event called Filthy. I guess you could say it fits between what we normally do at Hustle and UG.
For the first one on May 1st we have booked NastyDirtySexMusic with Smokin Jo and Tim Sheridan.
I have listed this just to show we are trying to bring a little variety to Sheffield.
Hope its taken as such.
D
Definately a lack of venues in Sheffield which is detrimental IMO. Promoters have had to make do with some lame arsed venues but you make the best of what you have got and I personally have had some wicked nights at 'different' venues like The Everyone Centre, Stars and Mayfair suite etc.
stars and the everyone centre are good enough,but still alittle small,nice atmosphere but you dont attract the big names to places like that.
i agree tho,we need more venues,nice sized ones,like bigger than zero but smaller than the arena
clubbing has died in general. Unfortunately the smaller nights (the better ones) appear to be attarcting the wrong crowd. Larger nights tend to be cheese.
There isn't the money in it to have a big club with a niche specialisation.
it died years ago anyway. Crasher was awful for the last few years....

its true, i only arrived in sheffield for the start of its decline and consequently couldn't see what all the fuss was about. Think we should follow the leeds example with millions of late bars wherever theres room... but then what do i know
the fonz 14-03-2005, 17:41 I agree with Agent,
It depends what you like and what you are into,but IMO there are still plenty of smaller scale club night which are still brilliant. and have a great atmosphere, it could even be argued that the scene has imporved due to the greater choice. Clubs like crasher and more recently bed were good but when the students went home they, especially bed, suffered.
Death of the Superclub would probably be a more accurate description of the state fo clubbing these days.
I reckon as long as its loud enough its gets my vote, and on that note i throughly recommend Rehab in Leeds as the sound system is quality.
onedizzybird 14-03-2005, 18:51 dynamic intervention (aka mik cree) will be playing at stars in april for noggins, i would consider him a pretty big name on the scene, also alex calver in may.
welchiewelch 14-03-2005, 21:39 My view is that quality clubbing is alive and well......all that gatecrasher / bed stuff and the bigger nights is milk the punters which there definitely has been a bit of a backlash against.
People haven't abandoned good nights but a scene begets a scene, good nights effect each other and if there's very few places to actually go to good nights at then it's a problem.
There's still a lot of good nights kicking about but at the moment Sheffield suffers from lack of good club venues.....that's it.
markichamp 14-03-2005, 22:13 What is it u want from a club night? A big soulless expanse with a bigger soulless sound system, q'ing for an hour no guarantee of entry, tenner door tax, no variety, young girls what can't stand up, young lads what want to test u cos they have had too many 4 quid drinks, 3 in 1 haircuts, shiny shoes, bad music supplied by worse dj's. Doesnt this still apply??!!!

EXACTLY:clap:
markiechamp and welchiewelch both have had the best points so far i think,we need more venues,but we dont want them to turn into what markie is saying
Kthebean 15-03-2005, 13:08 I agree. Zero is okay but really not suitable for nights like UG and Zogg (sounds like a cartoon doesn't it!). It was a shame republic and bed closed down. Kingdom is a good venue (I've been once, before you all start shouting at me :) ) shame about everything else it involves!! Pleased to hear about the return of the arches, have missed it.
There are some good smaller nights though, I did go to dirtycheese for a bit and it was ace. Dont forget about the tuesday club, although it is not as good as it used to be (or perhaps tis me thats not as good as I used to be :) ) it is still attracting big name acts for relatively cheap tickets.
I have to admit its largely due to us students. We have so much economic power but generally use it to endorse such s***holes as kingdom and crasher. School disco, nuff said *shudders*
If you lool at the history of clubbing - "Superclubs" were quiet an unsual feature where the underground and mainstream worlds of clubbing had a brief fling for a few years and then once the dr*gs wore off - realised that they didnt really like each other much and went their seperate ways again...
Like everyone says - for non mainstream clubbing - there is a lack of decent venues in Sheffield. It will be good to see the Arches in operation again - and even better if it has more sensible management...
Newly back in Sheffield after a few years.
why is it whenever i pick up a flyer it's always for a PUB?
Why must everyone run nights in the Forum etc, rather than a real club?
what's going on?

As people have said; there's a real lack of decent venues. It's very frustrating.
Death to the superclub, in with the cosy back room.
Something more personal, memories aren't formulated for you. You're not constantly reminded on every flyer of how legendary the night is. It might be good, it might be crap. Who knows. A bit of excitement .. Hoorah for back-room clubbing!
mrhijinx 16-03-2005, 12:19 Some good points...
Like we've all said theres no new venues in the city, so the up & coming promoter can't put anything on at the mo... unless hes got enough money to put something big on & can not worry over losing it when no one comes...
There are still plenty of people willing to go out but sadly the choice has been dumbed down to loads of cheese & only a few quality nights... the cheese can afford to hype there night up big time, reality TV stars, Adverts on Hallam...
Ok the quality nights can't/wouldn't want to do it but this obviously works or they wouldn't keep doing it.
Personally think that one of the main problems was when Ponana/Fez went... I know half of it's back now but it will still take time for people to realise & start going again..
Thats my 2p's worth anyway
Hijinx
welchiewelch 16-03-2005, 12:46 I do think that Po na na / fez going made a big impact. I think the venue has always had potential to be a real alternative venue in there if people with the right ideas ran it. Unfortuantely it comes down to bottle....clubs like Hi fi and Wardrobe in Leeds aren't always great but they've set their stall out to be different and stuck to their guns so people know the venue for being good - not just the nights.
Having said that - things move in cycles, as long as there's people interested in good music there will be good nights....wish it'd hurry up
levitate_me 16-03-2005, 13:03 any1 goin 2 urban smackdown 2day?
levitate_me 16-03-2005, 13:08 anybodyt there?
yeah im going. what time is is kickin off at and whattime on till?? cos its free im thinkin of gettin there earlyish
Regards clubbin---
Ive been to some quality nights, i guess it all depends upon what music you are into.
1) Phonetics before it shut down at element (po nana). Wicked night, some good names, not too much on the door. Hope its coming back asap.
2) Scuba at The Room (fez). Herbert was awesome here last year, went again and it was q commercial but has scope i rekon. Can someone comment on Pin-Up club at this place, im into my house, but the less commercial stuff. Might go here easter weekend.
3) Tuesday Club. As has been said, decent prices. Could do with being open till 3 perhaps rather than 2. Did get bored of the place last year, but if you are selective and go to about one out of three its wicked.
4) Urban Gorilla. For a bigger night out its wicked. Had some good times there, just danced for about 3 hours straight. Good atmosphere, drinks expensive but i dont usually drink that much when out. Open late.
5) One-offs. Diversion at the Uni every month (saw norman jay, stanton warriors, adam f and freestylers, so a good mix of stuff). Norman jay is playing at zero this weekend. I think zero is a nice club inidentally, whats up with it?. Bugged-out night at the leadmill easter weekend. DnB arena at forum and corporation. Skiinyman, and phi-life cyper tonight free at forum. Phonetics night next tuesday at stars (platinum pied pipers)......That is all good live music, no cheesy ****e. I think theres loads of stuff to do!!! Admitedly less superclubbery but then that has never been my thing.
I agree that many nights have gone or changed for the worse. Used to love Remedy and Scuba, now it seems the only place to get some tech house is UG and Scuba has become full of the mega-pretentious coked up Bed regulars, which for me has killed the atmosphere dead (have been a couple of times recently and didn't enjoy either).
Still like some of the underground nights of techno/speed garage and find these are still the same as before except there's no permenant venue like the Arches for techno, and Niche is always too busy. Even the smaller free parties are pulling good crouds and I still see the same people around as in the late 90s/early 00s.
Am very glad the superclub died as I always hated the likes of Gatecrasher, even in its hayday. The scene does not need that kind of night, it just gives it a bad name - especially when these huge venues get busted and the media labels all people who go to raves as dealers and heavy users.

what ARE you talking about??
Crasher gave sheffield a bad name? get real pal, crasher put sheffield on the map for thousands of people all across the globe in the late 90's/early 00's- it was the best club in the country full stop and it drew people to sheffield from all around england. Yes people who do go will get labelled as druggies but that happens at every club and as you well know- its a totally false statement!!

A lot of people never liked the trance scene or GC and would not share your view that it was the best club - it's down to opinion. I much preferred the Arches at the time, and to me that was the best club in the country then. People started associating Shef with the cyber kiddies, which a lot of people did not like, and many were glad when that fad started to die away. The attention also meant that when a club like GC was busted it made national headlines, and this sort of attention is not what is needed. For the non clubber (I'de say there are more who don't go clubbing than do) the only side they see is what's reported on the news, not what is printed in the music press so the impression the average joe has of the scene is negative.
I agree that there were some positive aspects to GC, especially as it drew loads of people to the city and gave it recognition globally in dance circles. I much prefer for the dance scene to stay underground though, I find when genres within the scene become commercial the music goes in a direction I don't like.
GC was pretty awful. However, I know lots of people who visited Sheffield from around the country just to go to Crasher...
I much preferred the Arches at the time, and to me that was the best club in the country then.
Agreed, GC was superb back then i.e. pre-trance and cyber.
Just to add a bit about Crasher, whatever your feelings about the place it put Sheffield on the map. Manchester had the Hac, Liverpool had cream and Sheffield had Crasher.
Uker... totally agree with you about Scuba.
On a positive note look at the line up for zero this weekend... Jaque Lu Cont Friday and followed by Norman Jay Saturday.

UNBELIEVABLE!! No way you can compare The Hacienda to The Republic. The Hacienda was in a totally different league:loopy: :loopy: :loopy: The Hacienda is so much more historically important than The Republic or Gatecrasher I'm not even going to bother explaining myself.

Im not comparing the clubs in their, music output, reasons they were succesful affects they had on music outisde of the club etc etc. The only comparision they made is that If you were to ask anyone outside of Manc, Sheff or Liverpool. What club they were famous or what they knew of their clubbing scene, then the answers would be the aforementioned superclubs.
No way am I comparing Crasher to the Hac. I never made itto the Hac, but well aware of its legacy, how it propelled Manchester, how students chose purely Manc purely on the basis of the club, Tony Wilson Factory records, how it took up Shrooms mantle from London and punked it up...etc etc etc
I am sorry if I caused you any distress.

How early do you think people are going to start queing?
That track with Juliet : Avalon is so so good.
I think the Cream & Gatecrasher comparisons are a bit closer to the mark - they both propelled the image of the clubs far beyond the music. I used to go out in London fair bit around 2000/2001 and was always asked if I went to GC - which i never did... (although did see quite a few Dj in London who would later play at GC - but had no interest in the club...)
Strange as it may seem now - the Leadmill had far more in common with the Hacienda about 87/88 and was one of the first clubs in the UK to champion house!

There's 200 tickets on the door. I'm not sure what time you should turn up though. I'd make it before 11 anyway.
really gutted I can't make it tonight. Have totally run out of money and I don't get paid for another 2 weeks. :(
Avalon is a very good track indeed by the way

Very early, im prob gonna start about half 9-10ish just to make sure- i know u can always go to pinup if u don'tget in but i have been building upto this for 2 weeks nowand even stayed in last weekend so i would be fresh for tonight!! :clap: :clap:
underground1 18-03-2005, 09:17 Any one been to Niche recently?
bugger niche
its abit poop
Niche is part of the problem with Sheffield clubbing. A load of knobs all congregating in one place, many with the intention of having a fight, stabbing someone or generally being a nuisence, whcih then contrebutes to law abiding;) clubs/clubbers getting tarred with the same brush, which ultimately leads to decent clubs and clubbers suffereing in the long run.

i thought that about Niche, because when i have been talking to people about it, but after i had been i didnt have that view of the place, it is really diffrent to what people say about it, when i have been the people have always been really nice, alot of the people are stoned, so they are really chilled out. I know it has had lots of trouble in the past, but regulars to the club have said that it is starting to get alot better. They have metal detectors that you have to walk through and u have to empty all your possesions into a box while you get searched and your propperty does.

The republic and other clubs have been doing this for years, niche have been FORCED into doing it now by the police.
Do I really wanna go to a place where thy have metal detectors installed? NO!
The fact is if a club has metal detectors, that means that potentially people are going to be going in tooled up. I don't want to go to a place like that
you can do a lot of damage with a plastic knife too you know
True. I reckon a spork would be better though

The Arches metal detector never worked. Think they picked that up from a jumble sale.
theadore 18-03-2005, 15:59 never mind never worked... im pretty sure it wasn't a metal detector... just a plastic arch to make you think.
fnkysknky 19-03-2005, 15:00 Seeing as though clubbing is a bit crap at the moment round here it's surprising to see that next Saturday we have Love 2 Be at the Adelphi and Sunday we have Bugged Out at the Leadmill - what the hell happened here?! Lol :)
i would definatly say a lack of venus is an issue, many nights being put on at bars and pubs and it isnt really the same thing is a reasonable or modest sized club venue.
never been to the adelphi but never heard anything good about it

Yep, there where no cables or wires attached to it. It was a bit like having one of those fake alarm boxes on the outside of your house

If you get a good sized crowd in there its a really good venue actually- big bar, pretty cool- u can go outside to cool down, the only drawback is that i doesn't have a decent sized second room!

Thats because it has the best night in the city...Urban-Gorilla, and the moment it moves to a bigger venue and everyone jumps on the band-wagon (like they're beginning to) it WILL die a death! The same as all good nights.
Take HedKandi for example. I went on its opening night at Bed and had an absolutely amazing time. And it carried on like that until it moved to Gatecrasher1 when all of a sudden loads o trendys started going. The level of pretentiousness reached such a level that the people that go for the music have since abandoned it!
grouch over. Off to Meat katie l8r n need to prepare
L8rs people

All correct, although i've not been to Urban Gorilla as yet.
I'm really liking Hustle though.
OnlineJobsUK 25-03-2005, 14:08 Sheffield has really died clubbing wise. I live in dronfield which is inbetween sheffield and chesterfield and there are more options in chesterfield now!
If you are wanting a good laugh night out, or "cheese" as some people call it then there is only kingdom (full of chavs) and republic in sheffield. This is supposed to be englands 4th biggest city and we have 2 mainstream clubs? What happened to bed? Why did club wow shut down?
If you go to chesterfield there is zanzibar, a brand new club called lava & ignite, club fever and livingstones which is opening up soon....
I know people will slate this post for liking "cheese" clubs, but if you face facts, most people go out on a night out to get drunk and have a laugh... And where are the majority going to go? If they go to a small club which plays a specialist kind of music they are going to complain and spoil it for the people who go for the music.
Get your act together sheffield!
Agent Gypo 26-03-2005, 09:38 There are plenty of good nights in Sheffield, it's just that none of them are at souless shacks like Gatecrasher 1 or Kingdom.
mate^^ ther is the leadmill and three nights at the union playing very mainstream sounds, as well as lots of bars and pubs. corporation on a friday is a indie type mainstream night too.
this weekend i went to king unique and meat katie at UG and then bugged out at leadmill...i wouldnt call the scene dead!

The Leadmill reeks of cheese.......I would agree that for a drunken cheesy night out chessie is far better. I heard a rumour that they are reopening Xanadus....Now there was an establishment

They have opened it up, now called Lava & Ignite.... Its abit like pulse & vogue, who knows... maybe owned by the same company?
Anyways its alot better than zanzibar, and in my opinion 99% of clubs in sheffield
Bugged out is one of the Best nights we have!
trentboy2 09-04-2005, 15:27 Nottingham is a great venue for all your clubbing needs it only take an hour to get there and a lot of places are now open till 4 so if you fancy an all nighter it might be just your thing. I'd recommend: Stealth, Rescue Rooms, Moog (although it's a bit out af the way), Snug or the Bomb. All these places offer genuinly original nights out and if you're into your biscuits then you'll have a legend of a night. Avoid at all costs: the Works and Ocean.
Nottingham is a top night out. Used to go to Renaissance @ Media when I went to Derby uni.
And have since been back a couple of times

Thought Bugged Out at the Leadmill was a one-off?! Where is it normally (i.e. when its not a bank-holiday!)
