A tour of 12 Sunderland nightclubs we've loved and lost
Bev Dart: I'm old enough to remember Fusion!
Had many great nights in there! Had my 18th party at Genevives and the DJ was Chris Cowell know for his later work on Top of the pops!
Von Osborne:
What about the Vestry ! I went there every Thursday night for about three years sometimes Annabelle’s and if in mood to wear an evening dress a Saturday night at La Strada I think it was. Singer on stage. Dance floor in front of stage and tables felt real grown up
Graeme Collinson:
In all fairness possibly the best piece of " journalism "produced by the Sunderland echo in a very very very long time. Kudos to Tony for this brilliant article on Sunderland’s nightclubs, a genuine local lad with best interests at heart
