fair play mate serious tune...:D

Zascar

Hey lads, I'm hoping someone can help me.

Can any of the oldskool heads tell me anything you know about a club called "Sides" - apparently it was the first club to have a dedicated dance music night in Dublin, way back when. It's in a bar called the Mercantile in Dame street / Dame Lane

This is just what I've heard and I could be wrong but can anyone tell me more I'd appreciate it
Cheers

Hi Zascar, i lived in the Sides DC week in week out from about 92-94
im not sure if it was the first dance club in dublin but could well be.
most of the oldskool DJ's played there mick walsh, warren k, pat hyland ,pressure. the music mostly played there was progressive house! and imo it was the best club dublin has ever seen!

Are you taking the p1ss? You don't know about sides?

It was originally run by John Murphy (who I actually know now through a close friend, pity I didn't know him then!)

Amazing underground club when it first opened, great sounds. DJs like Liam Dollard, Billy Scurry and Greg Dowling (I think) were regulars. Sounds were housey/progressive (old progressive, think Sasha/Digweed Renaissance CD)

You'd enter the club in Dame Lane and head downstairs to the Bar and from there you'd head up to main dancefloor, which would be on street level. It was just a long rectangular box with a pumping sound system and they'd tend to leave to strobe on for what would seem like an eternity....which I loved.

Closed down for a while and then DJs like Mick Walsh, Warren K started playing there playing heavier sounds. Never liked the club around that stage. Sounds and People had changed.

Jonny would be the man to ask about the early days, he used to go there a lot.

stomprockin

I always wondered what sides was like pre - 91,was it also a gay bar around 1990? i also think the music played there was more 80's pop commercial dance?

As Bazmo says Jonny would be the man to ask..

BaZmO*

I think pre 91 it was just a bar/nightclub as there wasn't a house scene over here. Started to really kick off around 92 (I think) I must ask my friend or John the next time I'm speaking to them.

stomprockin

It would be interasting to know the history of Sides DC in the early days 89/90/91. i remember when MW and warren took over, they use to do thursday nights and the place was never that full for a mid week night but was a super night all the same.I think most of the clientele in sides came from the the olympic when that was coming to a close...

francois

It was mainly a gay club but a lot of students went there, the music in the late 80's/early 90's was disco/balearic/indie and some madchester as well as house-toni walshe was one of the residents there-I ran a brief night in there on wednesdays called the anarchy night cafe in about 86/87, again mainly indie, punk and 60's....
back again as francois1 as i was waiting too long to get my old ID back!

If you missed my "Back to the 90's" TV show on MTV & Viva last weekend, it's getting repeated in the UK on Viva tonight at 7pm. Channels Freeview 21 / Sky 358 & Virgin 313.

Might be worth a look.

lol Sean my man ....sarcasim.... i know i know the lowest form of wit lol .... that said you'd think artists weren't making too much on tunes long since forgotten save for sites like ours that keep it alive .....i mean you wont find any of whats in my 4shared or mediafire in any of the HMV's,Virgins,Golden Disc's etc etc .... all we did was keep the vibe alive by sharing our music between a collective....akin to the good old days of recording onto tape from the radio and then copying a tape for your mates ....suppose we shoulda just stook to the mixes then keep single shares for requests via private measures.

jaysus we were only babies in terms of oldskool websites there's loads of others out there a lot longer than us doing the very same thing.....seems to me the water is starting to look murky :mad: .... maybe our little fledgling site was looking too much a threat to others!!! hhmmmmm

Either way i wanna get in touch with the guys and get the heads together and plot a "new" venture ....just a shame we'll loose out on the 270 odd signed up members.

I refuse to go quietly into the night!! ..... The Reverand Ray Vaughan won't allow it!!!
