Is anyone actually going? Wondering how busy it'll be...
What is S&G?
S&G = Star and Garter pub in Fairfield Street, Manchester where my friends originally started an indie club Smile.
Every month the first Friday they have Smiths and Morrissey disco.

If I owned the S&G, I'd allow people to crash downstairs for the night and also offer to do a fry up in the morning (veggie fry up, of course)

It's a good job you don't then.
I must get myself down to the S&G one of these Friday Nights, sounds great
It is. AND you're in Manchester...what are you waiting for!
Yes I know Zelda Zonk, No excuses really, I'm just wondering if it might take me back in time to the good old days of 'The Venue' ? for some reason I keep getting the feeling of being in the Venue when I think of the S&G.... had some wild Friday nights in there
I don't know what The Venue is/was, so I can't compare. Sounds fun though.
The Venue!
I only ever went in there once..... the bouncers frightened me so much I gave it a miss after that

It was a dive club on Whitworth Street where people who couldn't get into the Hacienda ended up. I once watched a girl get dumped by her boyfriend in here. She cried for about a minute then spent the next 30 minutes smashing every bottle and pint pot in the club. The Bouncers didn't bat an eyelid. She just kept throwing them against the wall.
It was a shithole.
Haha you've not lived JJ, the Venue was 'THE' place to be on a Friday night, just thinking where you could have gone....Hacienda maybe? was never too keen on that place, although saw the Stone Roses in there that was a night and half
The Venue was a small-ish club on whitworth Street that played Indie on a Friday and Saturday nights, but played loads of The Smiths, great times
It's now a snooker club.
I used to go to the Boardwalk a lot and also Devilles
