A fairly lengthy interesting piece is featured in the Guardian all about a Sheffield club in the 1980s...

‘It felt like a revolution’: Jive Turkey, the Sheffield club night that blazed a trail for UK house

The pioneering electro, soul and jazz funk night united Black and white kids, bucked superstar DJ culture – and rivalled the Haçienda

The club had a unique alchemy, says Una. “It was this intuitively underground thing but wasn’t trying to be cocksure or full of itself. There was a real pride that this underground sound from Chicago, Detroit and New York was dropping in Nottingham, Sheffield and Manchester – the holy triangle. It felt like a revolution.”
