You're all wrong. When it opened it was called Studio Circus. "The lights, the sound, the new name in town."

It wasn't really very good. Too small for it's sound system, in my opinion.

your right i knew it was called something before ritzy i went the night it opened la toya jackson opened it and the pub at the side was called sound city when it opened and does anyone remember quigleys

I don't think I'm that old but I remember those days, jeez you even had to have your shoes polished too. I remember my mate having a very trendy pair of suede shoes and they refused him entry because they didnt look dressy enough.

bali hi wow that brings back memories,anybody remember scamps? bit rough, baileys top floor at the old co op, beerkellar? hoff brohouse next to scamps,oh the old memories come flooding back

Good memories with some of the names mentioned in this thread, been chucked out of most of em

Personally miss the 'old' new town pubs, Shire, Star of the West, Bass House, Institute, Le Vinos's, Scribes/Yates, Chequers, White Horse, Cheese, Punch

Cracking on a saturday or sunday night

Milf wasnt even a name when we was out then Steve.

I was chatting to a friend the other day.

Example is opening it, they've also got Wiley, Tinchy Stryder, Alabama 3, Tim Burgess, Ian Mcculloch of Echo and Bunnymen all confirmed and a few others pencilled in.

It will be amazing inside, the only problem is that town is rubbish. I'm sure it will have a busy midweek student night but the crowd you want to attract stay outside of Hull centre.

They also own a few other brands like Digital, Fibbers, Factory etc.

I like the sound of that, I'm sick of having to travel miles to see decent bands and also being ripped off for parking, food and drink. I know it's not NEC but I've still travelled to Manchester, Leeds, Lincoln, Bradford etc etc to watch the likes of said bands.

Beerkeller, 10p entry on a lunchtime including a stripshow with your pie and chips! used to frequent there when I was at the Queens Gardens college, class.

Yes. Try it sometime. Might stop people thinking you are a complete cock.

If that's true then it is a good start, while i'm not a fan of any of the acts listed. Wiley is currently no1 in the singles chart, and Example and Tinchy Strider have had many recent hits too. Much better than the usual Only Way is Essex/Hollyoaks 'stars' that we normally get as VIP guests to our nightclubs.

I think the big challenge is getting the public to come inside and give it a try, they have to look to giving out free entry tickets etc to try and get people to give it a go. And as you have already said, getting the students out of their campus/Newland Ave/Prinny Ave comfort zone could be vital to its sucess.

Good to hear that Tower are having bands on again. It was a great place to play at and see bands .
