Only done J2 once, that was quite enough for me!

Not an actual club but did anyone go Antwerp Mansion in Rusholme? Was a fairly recent thing but closed now, some mates went and showed me videos they took it, looked like something off The Wire inside there, cables sticking out of walls, holes in staircases, proper death trap.

Monroes in Great Harwood was dangerous for different reasons 

Opened at midnight til 8am on Saturday nights only. 

No alcohol licence 

Toilets that barely worked. 

Didn't get going til 4am, once all other venues shut there was a race over to Monroes to keep the party going

Had actual pikeys come from as far as Lancaster. 

Michael Bisping was a DJ there when I used to go. He gave it all up to become UFC champion! 🤣 🤣 🤣

They're the best ones. When Islington Mill in Salford first opened it was like that. Wires hanging down from the ceiling, bottom few bricks of what used to be a wall still there for you to trip over on your way to the bar that consisted of a couple of kitchen fridges and a wallpaper pasting table. Had some top nights in there as well.

Forgot Sankeys, used to occasionally go to a drum and bass gaff in South Manchester - when you went for a cig on the balcony you could often hear gunfire.

Sankeys was ace, especially in the mid 90’s. Sorry to bang on about sound systems but there’s was one called a phazon system (might have spelled that wrong) possibly the loudest system I’ve ever heard. I remember being on the centre of the dance floor and the DJ mixed 7 nation army into blue Monday, the bass was too much! I ended up at the bar catching my breath!

Zico will slaughter me for this but there was a stunning bargirl at The Phoenix who had a shine for me because I only drank shandy and...well it doesn't matter now, you don't fixate on the ones you did stuff with but the ones you were too pig thick to recognise the fact that they were interested.

I only went to J2 a few times, once some bird who was a posh girl from Harwood was palpating my nob under the table - in the presence of her milquetoast boyfriend. To Zico's chagrin I didn't do owt with her either.
