I
managed to get hold of a membership card a decade ago at a gym called
Holmes Place, now Virgin Active, in the Printworks. I was going to
use this card this week to get into Tiger Tiger's student night, which I
always remembered being on a Monday. Just a few years ago, and YEARS
after graduating, I'd dropped in on that night and it'd been great
fun.
I
swung by last night hoping the membership card would get me past the
doormen, but there was no queue anyway. Was I too early?
I
talked to a barman who said the student night had been moved to a
Tuesday. Oh well. I mentioned I was last in the club at New Year
when rapper Fat Man Scoop was
performing, and that I'd seen a huge kickoff in the Boogie Wonderland
room. The barman mentioned that the group fighting was in fact
gypsies and that one of the managers got beat up in the process. The
trouble-causers spent loads of money, though, so were pretty much let
off.
Take
a look at the pictures from the night: gypsy fashion normally includes lace, bright colours
and dotted patterns for the women and 1993 trends for the men. You
can spot them.
The
barman also mentioned that Deansgate Locks is a busy night on a
Monday (as it was back in my student day).
I may put something on Meetup for a Monday night- stay tuned to
Manchester Social Group and Manchester Cool Bars if
you're free those nights.
