Tonight there is a Wobble reunion and if
that means nothing to you, Wobble was a legendary all nighter in Birmingham,
where I spent many a debauched Saturday night. The club was in the Jewelry
Quarter, which at that time had not been done up and had a fairly run down, out
of town, industrial feel to it, which kind of added to the glamour. A tight
knit crowd of regulars built up, who shared some great times listening to an
excellent selection of dance music and DJs, mixing up Chicago house and
American tracks to British house music, with plenty of curve balls chucked in
for good measure. It was basically a party night, designed to have the best
time possible. I have plenty of great memories.
The gossip was that the venue was formerly a brothel, then a recording studio,
which is why the floor actually wobbled, as it was built to be conducive to
sound. Sounds like bollocks to me too and I certainly recall plenty of other
reasons as to why the floor wobbled. I first went to Wobble in 1992, so it will
be a 21 year anniversary for friends of mine that I know have gone tonight and
who I hope have had a cracking time. To be honest, I don’t think I could do it
these days, maybe next time I will have to prove to myself that I have one last
all nighter inside me…
