I'm goin' down "Cinderellas", you comin'?

A shit, shower and shave, dressed in a nice shirt and chinos, stinking of Blue Stratos and off into the Friday night for a drink, a boogie and a slowy before staggering home with a mushroom burger. I loved being 20 and going clubbing, Cinderellas, Kingston was my choice and tunes like this, you're the DJ what are you playing next?

Mine's a bacardi breezer!
I used to stagger home after having ingested...
a load of mushrooms, but they weren't in burger form.
Sorry, can't comment on the dancing bit as I avoided clubs like the plague when I was 20. Still do in fact.
You don't know what you missed
there was plenty of this
Chic "Good Times"
Oh I didn't avoid the *music*...
just the clubs.
I know your love of
the music Patrick, especially Chic. Unfortunately my memory of these tunes is clouded by alcohol, cheap perfume and shit dancing and then there were the girls who routinely ignored or laughed at me and my dancing. I had an instinct for finding the most drunk ones for the erection section thus my good friend the mushroom burger who was my only companion on the way home
Rose Rouge
St Germain
My taste is normally along the lines ....
Of 70's classic rock and Americana however St Germain's Tourist album is one of my all time favourites.
At the Top Hat
Opposite Northfields Station...
we would have had a bit of Cherelle
When it was
The Warehouse in Leeds
The Shamen - Progen (Move Any Mountain)
It's friday night
I'm twenty years old
And I'm heading to Indiecation at Le Bateau in Liverpool. What's that tune going round my head?:
Let's go!
Hangover remedy *before* going out?
I applaud your forward planning, sir!
Clouds 'Nite Spot', Preston, 1984...
..staggering around after five pints of cider and black, hoping the Rockabilly contingent wouldn't invade the floor...
Never made it to Millionaires
in Redhill when it was Millionaires.
But I bet they played this:
I did attend nightclubs in the 1980/90s and probably enjoyed it
Looking back as a 46 year old man I can't think of many things I would rather NOT do now than be in a night club that plays shit music I don't want to hear and a DJ that believes he is a star.
Spirit of 76
No not Randy California's band, this lot.
The Spinners and Rubber Band Man
Wednesday's
in Bracknell. The club under the multi storey. I think I was 14 but got in with some older mates. I remember hearing this. It was the first time I truly got dance music.
Either...
...The Avenue in Gloucester or - if we were feeling posh - Time in Cheltenham.
And - still a genuine classic that makes the blood rush to my head when the hook kicks in:
Dodgy club in Brentwood, Essex
Hoping to hear some of this
Later, started DJ'ing there so made sure that I heard it every night.
Joy and Pain
Ah, the sound of young Essex… At one point, it seemed like every other car round our way had a Maze sticker in the window…
Bought this Don Covay Classic years ago
didn't realise until years later that it was a Northern Soul favourite - love it!
Cinderella's in Guildford '75
Monday night was Rock Night. Velvet jackets, Ben Shermans, kipper ties, high waisters and platforms. Loads of Bad Co, Purple, Zep & Free. Not much dancing on that night! Other nights the music was fantastic. Chic, AWB,EW&F, Ohio Players...The place is still there (called something else, now.) Carpets around the bar were sticky. Happy days!
