It's an under-age disco, so I'd say 13 or 14 would be the usual age for such things.

Anybody know for sure?

Aww underage discos were the best. We used to go to one in Tullamore that had a very bad reputation and from what I hear it has gotten worse. Our parents used to hate us going but we were in the relatively well behaved minority. Good times. What I wouldn't give for one more night back there!

Oh yeah, it still exists.
I'm from Tullamore, but I only went a few times because it is actually the biggest knacker*-hole on the face of the planet. My dad works with the local paper and apperently there trying to do a piece on the underage age drinking at it. Though in fairness there's not much the people who run it can do, when I went all the girls hid vodka in perfume bottles in their bras...what can they do, strip search them?

*by which, of course I mean run-of-the-mill scumbags as opposed to any slur against travellers.

Oh it still exists alright. And yeah it was full of scumbags who were pissed off their faces. We went just to dance and see friends from other schools, we never took part in all that drinking. I used to see girls downing naggins of vodka in the smoking area. I remember being horrified. I don't think my parents knew the half of what went on. I just used to stay away from all that. I went loads of time but my sister only ever went once so it's probably gotten worse in the few years since I've been there. I used to love how the Gardaí were used to sit outside it in a riot van every Saturday night.

The "Teenage Kicks" disco (or "Spin" as all the 13 year olds call it) is like a younger version of Wezz. It really goes:

1st year- Spin
2nd/3rd Year- Baby Wezz
3rd/4th year- Old Wezz
5th year- Back to Wezz
6th year- Real pubs and Clubs.

In my day 4th year was Baby Bondi/Burn/Blakes/Tribe (am I missing one?)

Like its a complete scoring slut out. But thats it. It's just cause its D4 people seem to think there is a ridic amount of virginity getting lost there. Innocent kissing.

Never made it to one of those. I've heard all the rumours though

Docs (before it was re-branded Trinity Rooms) used to do some amazing under-age discos around the same time the Energizer was starting off.

If that's the story about siblings and blind-folds, it's one of the oldest urban legends in the world...
