    February 1990? I was studying for my Inter so I remember the era well.
    It's odd: the video is a welcome reminder of just how far we have come - but it's also induced severe perm envy in me. :(

    School disco era for me - Hammer, EMF, Jesus Jones, Technotronic, Snap - The Power, Black Box, Soul II Soul, Pump Up The Volume, Depeche Mode's Enjoy The Silence, Turtle Power, And remember those two songs called Naked In The Rain and Dirty Cash?

    There would be a wee bit of rock from Queen and ACDC, bit of "indie" from The Cure and New Order, and always the same oldies: Just Can't Get Enough (sex!), Tainted Love, and Come On, Eileen.

    And yes, the night always ended with Put Em Under Pressure. :)

    That must have been Wesley as opposed to the 'too cool for school' Grove.

    Particularly in rural Ireland? Well then, you might enjoy this. The hair, the clothes, the eclectic mix of the Stunning, Technotronik and the Cure, the sweat, the enthusiasm...great days.

    Most of the mainstream music was ****e. I just waited till the DJ put on the rock set and then I really hit the floor (normally bounced over by someone twice the size of me)

    Feck, I can smell that disco! Remember they all had to serve food for the licence. This beat is Tecnotronic, a quick sausages and chips and back out battering the dance floor, this beat is, this beat is.

    Howrya darlin' !

    Oh yeah, Money Talks, loved that one. The Adventures of Stevie V.

    LA Style "James Brown is Dead". Maria McKee "Show Me Heaven". Bryan Adams "Summer of 69".

    Those were the days, we used compare nightclub meals. I remember missing my dinner and going dancing and asking snogging couples if I could have their dinner ticket seeing as they probably wouldnt be lashing into the chicken curry and chips.

    I remember getting chips and coleslaw in one place, seemed very fancy!

    Ya see, ye were doing it wrong. We used to bring our own music with records to Nijinsky's on the Curragh, and asked the DJ (a little lad by the name of Ray Darcy) to play them, which he grudgingly might. By early 1991, since very few went on a Friday night, we asked if the Friday DJ would play our stuff. A few months later, the Friday alternative night was more popular than the Saturday 'chart' night. :cool:

    The Cure, The Smiths, Stones Roses, Dinosaur Jr, The Pixies, Violent Femmes, Sisters Of Mercy, Depeche Mode, Metallica, Nirvana. The slow sets were still there, but usually with stuff like Prince's Purple Rain, and Disintregration-era Cure.

    Good times!

    I've been to Nijinskys too and the Ambo in Kill.

    Any Kildare heads remember Kilmartins in Newbridge? Stickiest carpert ever!
