funkymiss Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 Yes there are half a million people aged 0 - 100 in Sheffield. I don't know the exact figures but let's say 100,000 of them are in the 18-30 demographic that mainly frequent bars and clubs. If 50,000 of them are students that surely means half of the going out population of Sheffield disappears in the holidays doesn't it? I wonder where the remaining 50,000 go during Summer then... It drops off way below half! Well I guess it depends where you're going, pubs feel quite empty to me but some of the clubs don't really drop that much in terms of turn-out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dramadiva Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 well i think that DD just misses BED, and his freedom. I can see his point though, more and more people are being sucked into the commercialism of it all, standing round looking posh and not daring to move in case they spoil their expensive clothes/haircut and are just a bit more inhibited and self concious. But perhaps after clubbing in the same city for years perhaps he wants a change. They do say that variety is the spice of life! As for me - i am perfectly poised to give him a slap - and have just done so! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlBal Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 Im affaraid people from Sheffield need to broadin there horizons, like alot of you said, more n more people jus seem to go where its "cool", i mean could you ever see a successfeul minimal night ever being run in sheffield, take kEtAlOcA in leeds or dirty disco. When dirty disco was at nylon, the majority of clubbers struggled to get the music, Denni was only playin stuff like Gel Abril and Audion, thats why Leeds is head over heels in front of sheffield on the clubbing scene, cause they go where theres good music & not jus go where its seems to be "cool" in fact most people from sheff are into fakin basslines n paying £50 on NYE to get into vibe.

DJ Mez Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 ...in fact most people from sheff are into fakin basslines... And? I thought you were saying that there wasn't enough to do in Sheffield? At least Vibe is putting something different on from the same old same old 'fakin' electro! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quint Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 i mean could you ever see a successfeul minimal night ever being run in sheffield. Have you ever heard of Cargo?? They have been running a minimal night in Sheffield for the last 2 years. They have run nights at DQ, Corporation, Plug and most recently Penelopes on NYE, with Chimpanzoo from Leeds who have been dubbed the new 'Ketoloco'. Like alot of people have already said on here, you need to look beyond the obvious places and you will find there is actually some decent stuff kicking off in Sheffield now.

AlBal Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 Mate ive heard of cargo, supposed to be a wicked night will try to get down some time. And Mez as far as basslines go, how can they be puttin something different on when its the same basseline night which has been running in sheffield for the last 9 years.

Cargo Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 Nope, I'm not sure actually. I never used to have much of a clue what was going on at Urban Gorilla when I was a regular...! Think I might have got it confused with someone who used to be resident at one of Sven's nights.... It was prob Frank Lorber, he played UG Undercover while at Fez, he's on Cocoon - Svens Label. Fecking quality booking too!! On a different subject matter, many thanks for the kind comments above. New Year was indeed a superb night and we are pleased to announce Penelope’s will be our new home. If you’ve not already been down to Penelope’s or indeed know where it is, you need to get out more, it’s a great venue and is exactly what Sheffield has been lacking in recent years! We have lots lined up for the forthcoming year, starting on 16th February – More details and line-up to follow soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rushup Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 Yes there are half a million people aged 0 - 100 in Sheffield.

If 50,000 of them are students that surely means half of the going out population of Sheffield disappears in the holidays doesn't it? I take your point, but of those 50,000 students, I'm pretty sure they don't all go out regularly, and most of them don't go to the kind of events we're talking about. If they did, club nights from UG to Cargo to Rough Disko and every dance orientated night in the city would sell out every month. I'd be interested to tally up what each club and promoter has through the door for each event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WYEXILE Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 What's the big deal here? Isn't this what most people do every weekend? Look around, see what you fancy and do it whether it's in your home town or not. Coming from Bradford originally I've been doing this for the last 14 years.
