Only ever tried to go in the Kingsway once, we were 3 scousers and we all got knocked back as they thought we'd cause trouble!!! Its the little shits from Southport they needed to worry about. Went in it when it was doing rock stuff in 1991, my mates band played there one night.
Did you know Dave Smith the tattoo fella? He started on market street and eventually settled just over Eastbank Street bridge.
Only ever went in the kingsway a couple of times myself. Was around 95 i first tried an a lad called Ste Core was on the door an as soon as he heard my voice he kicked off. Threatened to knock fuck outta me cos i was scouse. He remembered me everytime n all. Went once with his cousin who was a mate of a mate (he said ill get you in after i told him about this doorman id had trouble with)and as we tried to get in he spotted me and before i even got close he shouts fuck off. His cousin had a word etc an then he starts slapping him about. Next thing ya know his cousins crying his eyes out. Fucking mad. Wasnt my sorta place anyway. Was a shithole. Hired the underground bit out with a few lads for a bit and used to do new york/ chicago house nights but didnt really take off
Dave Smith ill know if i saw him. All my mates got tats off of him. Was always down market street in hagertys buying footy kits or at the record shop buying vinyl.
Who was ya mates band? had quite a few mates in bands. Number One Son, Sadako/ graven image. Magpyes(sp?) who later evolved into Video Nasties who are now signed. And Ji was another mates band. Im forgetting a few and i knew tom from gomez but he was a crying tit
