BazM Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 (edited) Lowton Modern Room was brilliant in its day, currently home to the D.D.A.

Mark Bicknell Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 The front room bar area at Sheridians had it's moments where you could dig a little deeper being able to play all tempos and styles early doors before the main room really kicked in.

Guest familytree Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 Reckon that's were Northern and House first collided....Paradise Orchestra etc.....kin brill!!!!!!!!!!!!! i only got there a couple of times but agree it was a great room!... sooo refreshing and well overdue to have the two genres meet, it made for an exciting vibe thanks to barry (and im sure others im not familiar with).. lowtons back room has been fun over the years with again open minded prommoters... funny it was the reverse at wigan, the main room was modern... ish and Ms oldies....perhaps now they should swap it round as some second rooms are so full they need the main?... did that make sense?!

Chris Anderton Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 I used to like the second room at Bretby after i stopped running it and Chris and Dave T took over. I was just getting into 70s/modern and heard so many great tunes in there... Chris. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

spirit Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 More votes for current (why 'was'?) 2nd rooms: DDA Carl & Maria @ Middleton/Prestatyn Rugby Freestyle I prefer second rooms without a fixed policy, and with room to dance. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

The back room at the Howard was special but for me it's gotta be Prestwich Modern Room...... Although I prefer earlier music, I spend quite a lot of time in there when I'm at Prestwich - at times it outdoes the main room for dynamism and atmosphere; it can really swing on a good night.

The back room at the Howard was special but for me it's gotta be Prestwich Modern Room...... Sorry if the pic is a bit big Ha ha, that's me, Dru & Roz in the front there! Brings back some memories - when was that taken Baz? About 10 years ago? I loved the Bretby modern room, also had some absolute belters upstairs at Cleethorpes during the early 90s - packed to the rafters, lights off, Terry Jones or Adam on, everyone singing, electric atmosphere... These days I like nipping into the Rugby freestyle room when it gets a bit too R&B in the main room Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Guest Beeks Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 Current second rooms have to be Rugbys freestyle room...always something different in there and lets not forget Joes room in Middleton...for an R&B enthusiast it is hard to beat! Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Regards - Mark Bicknell. Yes, I agree Mark, although, 2nd room at Bury Town Hall wins my vote .. whatever the music policy. I remember my 30th birthday up there with Pete Haigh, Sean Livesey and Barry Maleady Dj'ing. Top nite and equally, when we put RnB in the other top room at Bury and we had the Sink guys with Andre Minta on, t'was also a brilliant atmosphere.
