@Holette

I missed Big Beat Boutique's Concord heyday because of an intense relationship which involved a lot of smoke, and staying in bed. Annoying, but also not.

@Holette The one thing that did annoy me about it was lots of Indie-er than tho Brighton types who were previously very sniffy about rave/house/techno/etc leaping on it. *grumble*

@ogili @Holette we were old Concorde Big Beat Boutique core fanpeople, but mainly coz we were bored with going to the Zap club on a Friday and listening to 'progressive house' that was basically too minimal for anything other than being 5 pills up, as I recall, badly

I can imagine it was *a lot* of fun tho. I went to a very hip Progressive House club in London once in the mid 90s, it was the most boring pose-y designer clothes and cocaine hipster night ever.

Did you ever go to Rob Lluis' Concord nights which were the sort of Big Beat pre-cursor

@ogili @Holette yeah, i think I have a couple of the mix CDs they used to give out from that night, although I could be mistaken. Probably.

@corin_ja @Holette I now need to find out the name of said night. It's really bugging me now. They gave out cassettes. Which I think I did own a couple. But don't now.

@ogili @Holette I think I'm wrong, those CDs are from the Etch night at Concorde II which must've been 1998, 1999. Not the old Concorde I thing you were talking about which must've been 1994/95/96

@Holette @corin_ja I enjoyed that, a bit more edge than your average '90s Levis cords, adidas gazelles and goatee jazz funk night.

@SimonLandmine @ogili @Holette these are brilliant. I never took a camera at that time to a club or gig. Took a few disposable cameras to festivals but not really to more everyday things. Amazing

@corin_ja @ogili @Holette Those are scans from a combination of disposable party cameras and my 35mm SLR.
At some point I might run the negatives through a negative scanner now I have one.

@ogili @corin_ja @Holette A number of those shots look like shots of folk I knew in York at about that time, too. 😄 A lot of the ones in the Green Dragon and Prince George, it seems.
(Good to see assorted para boots, too.)
