Well I still go to the former Excalibur in Stoke, it's now called The Club, still a gay club of sorts but Saturdays sees a straight DJ who likes to play 'Children of the Night" by Happy Hardcore as a last song. No gay anthems at all, mainly R&B for the str8 girls who dance round their handbags in their fab 'gay theme' bar....Nice to know us gays are there to be stared at....

Oh tell me about it. It's the same in the Manchester 'gay' village. You feel like you're there to provide entertainment for the straight couples & hen parties. :evil:

[My old local gay club in Stoke used to play 'Round The Old Camp Fire' by Foo Foo Lamarr at the end of the night & the bouncer Cynthia (a man!) did a little dance to it & everyone would join in (is it any wonder I moved to manchester? ]

That brought back a lot of memories. I bet if they put the record on you could do all the movements too, even though you fled to Manchester. I'm pretty sure I could.

Yes Excalibur was good but I also liked it when they moved to that big shed across the road. Cynthia still did the record at the end for years. I got dragged up on stage once to do it because I was moving away to college the next day (I was set up).

I can't remember wher it was done (if it was Stoke or Manchester) but where did they do the Court of King Caracticus (is that how it was spelt)? That was all hand movements that had everbody going.

PS - do you remember when they used to sell cassettes with the latest tunes mixed. I think they originated from Birmingham and they would be sold at the Excalibur at a little record bar (I recall a quick trawl through the reocrds whilst holding a vodka in one hand was compulsory for me). I found a load of those cassettes a couple of weeks ago when I was sorting out my flood. They seem to be late 80s. lots of SAW etc.

I remember the old Clone Zone in Mancheter used to sell those white cassettes which had all the latest Euro.hi-nrg choons..

[SandraDee]

Those tapes at Excalibur were generally done by Roy Stanier who was the DJ at the time & didn't that club miss his taste & skill when he left?! What a fab DJ! I think he was based in Birmingham but I followed him wherever he DJ'd from Manchester (Archway) to Wolverhampton (Gavan's), he was that good. (I'm not usually a DJ groupie but with him I made an exception! :lol: )

This weekend I dug out some of my old hi-nrg tapes - not palyed em in ages - ahhhh the memories !!

I used to love getting the coach from the club in Stoke to go to Gavans on a Saturday night. The music was always so good and the atmospher superb.

I forgot about the coach toto, I always drove there myself so I could leave when I wanted to, although I generally stayed 'til the end! I always liked it downstairs where they only let u in if u wore leather or some other fetish gear. 8)

I'm sure I got in there and I don't recall being refused admission downstairs. The music was defintely more hinrg downstairs.
