not sure about the oldies only mate . i know it became an oldies room later on but in the early days it was just another room to accommodate the sheer number of people .in the early days many of the floor fillers of the day would be played along with older stuff
i tried to explain it to friend the other day what it was like in there , to get from one part of the room where the little stage was to the other end near the toilets was a task , you had to pick your way though the folks all stood around the dance floor no easy task . complete strangers would just stick there arm out offering cola or chewing gum to anyone around them , for me there hasnt been another atmosphere in any club that could match it, as for dancing you couldnt even lift an arm up or hardly move your feet at times just a mass of sweaty bodies bouncing up n down .many times i ventured on the floor only to have to make a dash for the bogs to throw up coz the floor was alive .i could swear that dance floor bounced about 2 foot in the air at times it was the heavy duty party people's room. no doubt about it
prophets ...i got the fever
