These were two nightclubs in Harrow, hugely popular in the 1980s. And they weren’t the only ones. There was The Bandwagon in Kingsbury, Oscars in Greenford and the Royalty in Southgate. Further afield, we went over to Cheeky Pete’s in Richmond and the Lacey Lady in Ilford. Practically every suburb in London once had a nightclub but they were gradually killed off by cavernous warehouse raves that evolved into superclubs like Cream and the Ministry Sound. Even though they were more central, their effect was like a huge out of town shopping mall that gradually put the small, local traders out of business. As a DJ, I worked everywhere, mostly in the West End. But for a packed and responsive dancefloor, you couldn’t beat a Saturday night in the suburbs. Especially if I had this in my box.
