Where do we sign up? The Manor hopefully...Or we could do mdma assisted couples therapy with SDD and Neil.
Alas, the toilets in Madison's backed up about two weeks after I started clubbing and it closed forever. It sounded fun though:

yeah I never went there or the manor. went to a few reunion parties though.
dance scene never really seemed to take off in bmouth, more middle of the road bars/clubs playing the same charty stuff over and over.. some good nights and top dj's were on from time to time, but frequently were half full for some reason. compare to london, with loads of big nights/dj's each weekend, selling out.

Agree some of the nights were pretty empty at times but there was a lot about just not always that well advertised I think ...yeah I never went there or the manor. went to a few reunion parties though.

There was definitely a good underground dance scene in Bournemouth- it was just a lot of it had to be hunted down ...
When I first got into the rave scene back in ‘91 you had Remix , Jackie O’s , Academy Star Bar , Maddies , the Venue on Friday nights

When I got into the scene in ‘91 it was Remix , Maddies, O’s , the Star Bar in the Academy , The Palace ,Friday nights at the Venue also in the left hand venue ? playing hardcore rave and dance stuff - there was also a club called Fat Ian’s which was on St Swithins Road opposite the railway station which did hardcore nights .....
The Star Bar shut down early ‘92 but the Academy hosted Wild Turkey and Parhelion rave nights which were pretty good ...
After - club gatherings were either at 101 squat/flats up Old Christchurch Road - ran by a lad called Spud , or down in the old car park by the pier ( where the adventure golf is now ) or on the promenade between Boscombe and Bournemouth piers .....
A few parties in the New Forest too but I never made it to them ....
Later on mid/late 90’s the aforementioned Fat Ian’s did techno nights once every couple of months and the Millennium club up Old Christchurch Road used to have weekly techno nights with Paul Edge and DJs like that ....top nights ...
I didn’t enjoy the Manor at all - went a few times and the music and vibe was just not for me ...
