They also put on The Five Blind Boys of Alabama and Etta James at the Brighton Centre.

Great stuff.

Wasn't that Russ Dewsbury and his legendary Jazz Bops that put all those bigger nights on? I went to the Five Blind Boys one. It all gets a bit hazy to be fair.

That was deffo the Catfish. I think the jazz bops included the likes of the James Taylor Quartet and Terry Callier.

Back to Etta...

Had some great times there as well as at some of the other clubs mentioned, used to go to the Escape Club a lot as I was friends with the owner.

The Catfish was brilliant back in 97. Agree completely with the OP.

We were spoilt for clubs back in 97. You had the Escape and Zap on the seafront for the ravers, there was the alternative nightclub down by the Pink Coconut/Barcelona/whatever it was called, up the road next to the model shop in West St was that bar/club that played excellent lounge and soul nights (you had to go down some steps to get to it), the Sussex Arts Club never failed, there was the Jazz Rooms up Ship Street. The Gloucester was Britpop central and if you really, really, really couldn't get into any of them because you were so drunk then there was always Marilyns down by St Bartholomews Church where trannies and gurners mixed with no aggro whatsoever.

I'd completely forgotten about Marilyns ... what a place that was, upstairs (where the toilets were) was how I imagine a brothel to be ... maybe it was

what was the name of the nightclub/dance venue in 1984, sited at the top of Regency square (where the underground car park is) we've been trying to remember the name for years now, anyone remember please?
