The Brit Nev Shooter Mick Taylor

Great night this; the club was slightly hard to find - right next door to another club (the Boat Club) which also tonight had some kind of soul do on as well, so that threw me a bit. Anyway once I found it it was great - really quirky interior, walls are all black and rocklike, sort of like a set from the original Star Trek; not all that big either but certainly atmospheric with the front bar looking out over the river Trent. The dancefloor also had a bit of a slope to it (I think) which was interesting. 

Fantastic line up of DJ's, massively impressive that one was only 18 and had an amazing knowledge of the music as well. Some great dancers too. I've not been to many events in Nottinghamshire but in common with the others this was all "proper Northern", Dennis Edwards - Johnnie On The Spot, Bobby Treetop - Wait Till I Get To Know Ya, Martells - Where Can My Baby Be stand out but it was all equally as good. Not like the West Midlands where some do's try to be all things to all people - northern, mainstream soul, modern, disco, crossover, Contemporary R&B, a bit of house, reggae, Motown, pop, Helen Shapiro etc. 

Sadly the building is being demolished at the end of the year but I hear the club is intending to move somewhere else so definitely one to come back to.

Drew the club (tricky because it was all black) and the DJ Alex Gallagher.

I rarely give 5 stars - I've noticed that often reviews are by people connected with the event who inevitably give 5 stars to everything. I am trying to be objective.
