Was Portsmouth particularly known for Disco clubs or something? If so why?

[@londonteecher]

@@FrithonaHrududu02127 I wouldn't say it was known any more than any other city, it was just where I discovered Disco and where there were many memorable clubs that attracted an entire community which doesn't seem to be catered for anymore. 'The Early Days Of Disco' is set in Portsmouth and Southampton - the story is an attempt at a comical parallel to Saturday Night Fever.

Keep the camera still. Hard to watch 😳

@@londonteecher 31 Arundel Street, PO1 1NU Portsmouth, UK. Biggest club in Portsmouth, I did lights there between 1983-86. :)

[@londonteecher]

@@rar321blue of course! Thanks! I remember it as the 'Mecca', where someone asked for Roxy Music at a Black Velvet Jazz/funk evening, didn't go down well. I liked the place, one of Pompey's many great nightclubs of the time.

[@rar321blue]

I was a student then and knew the other clubs too, your video was great, used to DJ on South Parade Pier as well. Happy days.

[@londonteecher]

@@rar321blue thanks! Wish I'd caught it a few years before when the clubs were standing, good to talk to one who was clearly at the epicentre of it all.
