When I was a (bloody) student in Sunderland in the early 1980s we used to go to the metal night at the Mecca - or the 'Mek-ah' as the locals said. So much headbanging, so much hair. I met Catherine Buckle there. Beautiful girl. SHe came up to me and started snogging me, completely out of the blue and much to the chagrin of my pals, who were jealous as fuck. Whatever happened to Catherine?
Good to see the pubs shutting down, the Brits basically need to focus on economics , hard work, thriftiness , manufacturing , exports , as they used to be when they were an industrial and economic powerhouse world power , not darts , football and boozing .
Brilliant video Tony. I left Sunderland nearly 30 years ago and it breaks my heart to see Holmside so run down
Jesus Christ its official. Im a legit fossil. Cheers Tony.
Well done, loved the zoom in on google maps to next venue
Getting into Fino's was an achievement in itself when younger as I'm sure you had to be over 25 if my memory serves me right
The halcyon days of Annabels Jay Dee Plastic Dreams booming across the dancefloor❤
Excellent 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Chambers,Pzazz,KU and Annebells ,i used to dj the Rock nights there ,happy days.
I remember all of this these mid-late 90s!
The stairs into the Ku Club were almost vertical & it had a strange bleach smell on a Thursday evening. Happy days though.
Showing my age now how about Wetherals or La Strada
Bentley’s was the club of choice late 80s early 90s.
Was my second home
My uncle owned Bentley club in the 80
i went to bentleys only once, the problem was too many under age drinkers, kids as young as 13 would go in all dolled up trying to look 18
It always worked too! I think I was 12 the first time I went in there lol
@@hikerai2070 and that was the problem, a 20 year old lad out on the pull doesn't want a 12 year old
@@hikerai2070 hahaha

clubbing was fun in the 1970s
We've loved and lost Sunderland Town thanks to years of labour rule.

The Labour years didn’t affect nightclubs in other cities 🤪
