@awolrocked I first discovered that there's more fun dancing and smiling than being a floppy-haired Indie type at the Paradise Club in 1993. I was never a regular, but it sure opened my mind and got me dancing. Hooray!

god bless the paradise club and all who sailed on the good ship awol in her!

after discovering that club in 93 nothing came even close to topping the buzz!

Shitty building but first rate DJ's week in week out, the awesome GQ on the mic and oh my the eskimo sound system :)

Shame the last AWOL was utter shit at Indigo last year, they could have made so much more of bringing AWOL back - not heard anything this year about it which, I assume, means its been canned.

Bluenosenoel !!! no bro but they did used to be at the amazon club also. Quest was the original drum and bass club in wolves. Next to picassos in broad street. Fantastic club man and some of the best memories of my life.
