when it changed owners it was no more then .......and the younger people went to other places .
oneniceguy11: i remember it well .was a great place for the bigger bands ...... i wasnt a big fan of it to be honest ...
I loved it...the beach parties were brilliant but they were what ruined it in the end.
There was 3 stories wasn't there...different music in each....we all used to go out in groups then...and one of the boys was always sure to end up I a fight...was rough enough at times....I remember seeing a guy high off his tree on drugs ...daring people with a broken bottle...and the bouncers just picked him up like he was a piece of paper and took him around the back and beat the crap out of him...I'll never forget that night...we just stood there in shock...and then legged it lol

there used to cover the dance floor in sand and then ppl drag it onto the rest of the place on carpets .........there was big fight in front of it one night early in the night kinda was a turn off going there after that ..... later on in the time they closed the big dance floor and just had two discos in smaller sections of it

I liked the sand part but ya very messy...and we lost money jewelry and what not in it...I'd say the owners cleaned up from what they found in it. Ya it was a downer for me too to see the fighting but you got used to knowing which part to stay in...Great times those days...my god we are talking well over 20 years ago...God I'm old lol Remember the Christmas parties in July when Monties used to open for one night over the summer? and Johnny Blocks Burger Van...lol...

Cranky_Geezer: I still listen to them every day. Never gets tiring. When a song of thers is on the radio I turn it up.
OT: Working... sort of...
Yes I've never fallen out of love with them
I was a wee girl of 8 years when they came here, I still recall that cold winter's morning vividly, wrapped up in a blanket next to my brother watching their arrival on TV

Half your country lined the streets when they arrived.
I found a video of a full concert from your country. It's on YouTube. I'll post it later when I get home.
