Barracuda wouldnt be Barracuda without a fight (and those arrogant bouncers)  ;)

and playing the same song twice in one night is a big no-no for me ;)

I agree with you on this one, Barracuda is truly awful, the bouncers hardly let me and my mates in, probably because theier bigger than the bouncers themselves. But its the attitude you get from them aswell it stinks.

Not only that when you do get inside you see all the clowns in there and you think how did they get in? wtf**

And you think playing the same song twice in one night is bad, I was in there and this song started skipping ( rubbish cd decks) but instead of playing something else, the dj stopped it, waited a bit and played the same tune again.

I make excuses not to go when asked to go there.

funny thing about the bouncers though is that you see groups of girls blag their way in al the time, all they do is just show 'em some cleavage and they get in. i went there, with 3 other mates, but tried to make it out like i was with one dude (cuz you know how stupid they are about groups) and for absolutely no reason, they refused the two guys behind us. they way they dressed was even more appropriate than what i was wearing but for some unknown reasont they wouldnt let them in, and then they were asking why and the bouncer refused to even look at them.

it was truly disgraceful. but the music in Barracuda is 'more my thing' .though they play some real rubbish music at times.

In the days when I used to go clubbing Barbs was the place for me, Saw the clash, Stranglers, Denis Brown, Steel Pulse, The Specials to name but a few. After it closed down we moved on to the rum runner but couldnt work who were women and who were men so ditched it PDQ. The romulus on Hagley road was alright with the alternativer room in the basment the best bet. Went to Locarno once or twice (to see Siouxsie and the Banshees) and went to the Hummingbird that is now the academy, got beaten up in there for chucking a pint of **** over a band called london and they were crap even by punk standards.

Spent so good evenings in the hummingbird though, Thrid World, Yellowman (I think it was there lol) Burning spear all great and toasting competitions (rapping for you youngsters!).

Didnt really go to clubs if bands were not playing as the nobs were normally out looking for a fight.

Thought you were a young fella Bear!!!Remember seeing Clash costello steel pulse at dale end place along with specials /Madness/ sellector...only 26ish years ago......young ones be warned after 21 time goes too quick!!!!!!

I used to go to millionaires now and again, the dome when back in the late eighties, also some pub over by moor street station that used to some good indie nights,
Also used to get sucked into going to the mackadown pub in lea village / tile cross on a weds night (sharon and tracy meat market night to be polite)
And also the same at the hunters moon.

god the memories

the mackadown is now a lidl!

The last time I remember going in the Mackadown was for the England - Scotland game in Euro '96. I think it closed a few months after.

The Hunter's Moon used to be a grab a granny pub but last time I went in there most of the women looked about the same age as me...I'm not sure what that's telling me. My mate lost his wife to another bloke in there, I tried taking mine a few times but she kept following me home.
