The Gallery nights were the first London events I went to and loved them. Went a few times later to the ministry Gallery but it was never as good. Very happy times at turnmills and for the trancey-er side of dance nothing in London has come close. Always thought as an aside that trance didn’t fit London though that well, much better in good honest northern industrial working class town.
the UK-based australians and south africans loved it (and hard house too). generally it was never a trance city apart from graham gold doing peach and one or two other things. London and the north were very different in the 90s. The North just had fun whereas London exuded cool or attitude. Obviously that was reflected at the parties. there's no right or wrong answers here. that tension and clash of cultures made imo for a very exciting overall music scene.
Turnmills (Along with the likes of Gotskitchen, Gatcrasher)
My first ever “proper” clubbing experience was at GK’s Code in Birmingham. 2002/2003 I drank far too much Stella and can remember nothing. Did an NYE there too when I was driving and stone cold sober- never quite hit the happy medium!????
What I wouldn't do for a good GK \ GC night when it's all over!
