Have to agree with you there.

          I spent a wonderful, if slightly drunken, night there last
          Saturday.

          Also plucked up the courage to say hello to the
          Laird after he responded to my written-down request to play
          'String Bean Jean'. Boy, did that make my night.

          He also aired LLPJ at the end.

          Now, I ask you. Where elae in Embra would you get that on a
          Saturday night?

Here's my well educated opinion of the rest :

        - FBI : Used to be great when the DJ had a little originality.
        - Evol : Good once (played My Bloody Velentine - Whoo Hoo).
        - Day Tripper : Had promise and I did actually dance a bit.
        - Scooter : Had a good night here the DJ had a little flair (which
dwindled as the night grew long).
        - MI5 : Pish
        - Katch : Shit


This is the truth so there. Seek out other clubs e.g. Tribal Funktion (the top
floor plays brilliant Old Skool and Soul), Cafe Graffitti or Scratch.

Anyway to make this better for the rest of the listees I have a question on
clubs :

        Have Oasis ruined all the indie clubs we used to love ?
