704 Atmospere or The Zoo any other names

This used to be the Shaftesbury Boys Club which had the part in Thomas St as the entrance for the Senior boys and the back part in Jackson St was the entrance for the Junior boys (before you became 11 years old)

I went the Atmos for my 18th. I spent many a night there, smashed out my brain, listening to some old skool. Great days.

I used to go to Atmosphere all the time when it was quite a good rock hangout, hated it when it changed into The ZUU or whatever it was, looked like it has skinned Mr Blobby for the seat covers, then years later i went to the gym upstairs there.. Its really interesting to see the old photos of it

was called the hex club for a while,used to go to pick my daughter up from there,it was a bit of a goth place.

I knew the people who ran it during Hex but i never went there, Most Haunted were thinking of filming there once, they sent scouts out to film a bit of it but nothing came of it... or so i'm told.

they could of stood outside with me when all the emo's were coming out....thats a program all of its own

Lol !!

there were so many people wanting me to go to either Hex Or Stairways. thank god i never went.

You might of liked it Tom, i miss Stairways... Old School Stairways that is, when the walls were yellow and they had that old prjector screen by the bar *sob*

stairway's is now Zu a chav club.

I went to Stairways. Good memories. £10 in, free bar. Projector showing Scooby Doo! People picking you up when ya fell on ya arse cos the dance floor had a slight slope!

Ah yes!!! Those were the days eh! Those £10events always resulted in me chucking up over someones velvet jacket by the end of the night though *urgh!!* If you don't mind me asking Paul, how old are you and who did you used to go to S'ways with? I might even know you..

Edit: Just to add that Robbie the dj from there now has Stairways nights at the Seacombe Ferry pub, pulls in all the old crowds, i'm yet to go to one but i am curious!

nah, you won't know me! I was born Halloween in the year of our lord, 1968. I use to go with lots of peeps like Angie Sarson, Darren Dean, Cheryl (Chez) Bennett and the rest of the crew. Then we all got fed up of Stairways and popped over to the Krazyhouse. Occassionally I am found in the Swan on Wood Street, Liverpoooooool..

Aye, i prob don't know ya lol. I was born in '75 and started going to S'ways when i was 14 (jailbait !!) and swapped over the Kray too!!! Chez, would that be Chez Robetson (married name?).. i still go the Swan now (not every week though).

Strange that you mention a Chez Robertson! There seems to be a lot of e-mails flying about about some meet at Seacombe Ferry for her birthday last night (Friday 2nd)

That Chez has nothing to do with the Chez I know - apart from also getting an invite! No one I know..went.

Yeah, Chez is my new bud.. we share a friend called Diz and i was invited to her birthday bash but couldn't make it, shes lovely!!
Small world though eh!

Thought i'd just bump this... some of the old Stairways crowd are going to this - Link to events topic

i bled all over the dance floor in stairways after shoving me finger in a broken neck on me newkie brown

I got a FaceBook invite for something froma Chez Robertson - Stairways being the link.

PaulWirral you might know my sister what with you being similar age to her - do you ever remember an Oonagh? She was a bit of a punk - had a blue mohican at one point. She pops on here occasionally - MissCalculated...?

If you're on the Stairways group on FB then yep, it's the same one. She sent the invites out to everyone on there.

Soory Snnoze, I missed this post. I recall an "Oonagh" who use to work ay the Hollins Hey Hotel and did go to Stairways. Can't recall her having a blue mohican!! I am sure I would remember ANYONE with that hair do!!

The old regulers must be turning in there graves to think that chaves have taken it over.

anyone else remember the old atmosphere-thomas street building as digbys music venue ?
i remember seeing the jam 7/7/77 there also the likes if souxsie and the banshees,the ruts,the skids,the buzzocks
