goldenfleece Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 Originally posted by tonton_mac Why is Sheffield gay scene so crap? I have moved up here from London Because its SHEFFIELD and not LONDON. We are a very, very tiny place compared to london, very very small so you cant expect much. If you estimate the total percentage of gay people in SHeffield at being, say about 5% of the whole, how can you measure this as huge demand? Oh the 5% is a wild guess, someone correct me if its 25% or something....I really have no idea, but I am guessing its a small percentage which can be viewed as limited demand.

defstef Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 JBee: That's the most ridiculous, pathetic and negative post I've ever read. Had you actually ever bothered to go and look for a decent night, or read many of the posts on this forum, you would know that Shef has loads of great nights that many other cities are envious of. What's so '****e' about it? Kingdom? Gatecrasher One? - Of course they're s**t. F**k em. Don't go. Hell, run in with a hand grenade and blow all the stupid f**kers up. Then have a nice cup of tea and go to any of the myriad fun, intimate and grass-roots nights this fair city has to offer. And stop being so negative: "******** to your sexuality, this city has loads of good nights" would be more accurate. Methinks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheffieldism Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 i dunno, i dont think sheffield is bursting at the seams with great nights out at the moment, it still has the odd quirky night here and there, but its lacking something.........but what that is i dont know?

defstef Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 You have to remember that those "odd, quirky" nights are the ones that need to be supported. When Winston and Parrot played some of the new Chicago House at Jive Turkey in 86 (I wasn't there. I was 6 for Christ's sake!) it was "odd, quirky" but heralded the dawning of house music in the UK (take that, you Shoom-cockneys). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

defstef Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 What about Rough Disko? I could have showed my face there a few more times. Bar Unique sounds about as unique as an amoeba. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rushup Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 Originally posted by defstef "******** to your sexuality, this city has loads of good nights" would be more accurate. Methinks. Without wanting to sound completely negative, I don't think this city has many good nights at all unless you like indie/rock, cheese or breaks. There are a small number of alternatives to the larger, more commercial nights that are good, but they struggle to attract a crowd. It doesn't help that some of Sheffields best underground venues have closed in the last couple of years. However, there are still some gems; C90 being one event in particular I get excited about. There's the occasional NTA and Headcharge stuff, Future Funk has its moments too. As well as our night Dirty Cheese... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheffieldism Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 i think this should be the year of the "Free Parties" ive been to a few over the past years and enjoyed every single one. No hassle, no attitude and usually in cool surroundings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
