In the Friday Review section of the British daily newspaper The Guardian there is an article about the Morrissey/Smiths nights at The Star and Garter. A full page picture of Morrissey appears above the heading "We love Morrissey - a night at The Smiths disco." DJ Dave Haslam tells of his experience at the Star and Garter and talks to Dave Cotrill, the one man disco behind the evening. Haslam also talks to a few of the people in attendance. The full article can be found at: "A tale of two disc jockeys" by Dave Haslam - The Guardian (Sept. 21) --- The next Smiths/Morrissey night at the Star and Garter is on Oct. 5... -- Dave (who DJs the night), also writes: "...The text is taken from a new book about DJ culture. The article makes The Star & Garter sound like the seediest place on earth, it's not that bad is it?" --- Journalist who lies also writes: There's a patronising account of a Smiths/Morrissey club night in today's Guardian, taken from a book on 'superstar DJs'. The author seems to think it's hilarious that young people like the Smiths, and that the DJ is just a normal bloke.

I bet he's back at Gatecrasher tonight (Score:1)
I do think he was quite surprised that Morrissey can still attract a younger audience considering his lack of output in recent years, it's a pity that he didn't really express his admiration for Moz and his fans a little more.
Interestingly, he ends the article by saying that he returned to the Star and Garter around the time of Morrissey's birthday and he is now on the mailing list. I think the guy was semi-impressed with the evening but afraid to admit it - what would people think!

If you've been inside you'll also be able to varify it's hardly the Ritz, still I'll be there on the next Moz night.

really patronising, quite stupid (Score:1, Insightful)
all the criticisms he levelled at the morrissey night (it's effectively just a juke box) would have applied to any non-dance music night club where people go along to jump up and down, and sing along to their favourite song.
he criticised 'dave' or at least expressed surprise that there weren't any other styles of music. what in the lord's name do you expect when you go along to a evening billed as a morrissey/smiths night? what an absolute flipping idiot!
