Hey Anyone have any memories of the plethora of clubs on offer in the 70s80s90s? The good the bad and the ugly.

My personal fave was Barons...had some brilliant times there...REALLY miss that place

Meet my Mrs of 30yrs at Cinderella's, I think the last ever time I went to Barons I ended up falling down the Stairs after either coming down from the top dance floor or the toilet, I can still remember the bouncers picking me up asking me if I was ok, I was blotto again so I never felt a thing, if I'd been sober I probably would have broken my neck

I would imagine that there are several generations of Swanseaites whose parents met in the Top Rank, myself included.

Pain or damage don't end the world. Or despair, or f*cking beatings. The world ends when you're dead. Until then, you got more punishment in store. Stand it like a man... and give some back.

I'm sure 'The Park' is missed off many a mumbles mile.

And what is good Phaedrus, and what is not good. Need we ask anyone to tell us these things?

Well I used to go to places like the Wag club and the Camden Palace but it has now become clear to me I should have jumped on the train Swansea instead.
