I went a few times in the early 1990`s when Mark Kavanagh and the Banana Boys used to play and it was brilliant although i always prefered Sides but used to go the Olympic occasionaly..when it reopened it went to the dogs all these muppets appeared and there was always fights over drugs,etc,but in its heyday it was a top venue............

Dem wer the days! Loved the Olympic but you just couldn't keep me away from the Asylum - went there from the first week it opened till the last week it closed!!! I found the Olympic was full of body spinners, whistles, illuminous sticks - what we used to call "rubber ravers". The music was class though, fav olympic tune.. nothing lasts forever!!!

Ah banana boys, brilliant! Regulars at Asylum - remember they were first there when opened, one on decks, other MC. I remember Mark Kavanagh in the Pink Elephant and the Waterfront. Bring back the olden days, at least you had numerous clubs to choose from (unlike today) Sides, Mansion House, Olympic, Tivoli, G1's, The System, Shaft, Groucho's etc etc.?
