Dan_F Posted September 14, 2004 Share Posted September 14, 2004 Apologies if I missed out on some piece of common knowledge...just wondering if anyone knows what is happening to Bed Nightclub? Understand the land adjacent is being used for development work. But they seem to have left the club standing. Is it ever going to re-open? Is a listed building? Who currently owns it? Are they going to make it into flats? What's going on?!? Feel sorry for it every time I walk up London Road and see it left as a dilapidated shell!

carcrash Posted September 14, 2004 Share Posted September 14, 2004 From what I understand it is a listed building and it will be used for the enertence for the new building. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy78 Posted November 8, 2004 Share Posted November 8, 2004 i believe it's to be incorporated into the student flats that are being developed next to it. GC1 decided not to renew their lease as they weren't making enough money out of it to make it worth keeping hold of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard they were making it into a live music place, but hey what do i know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy78 Posted November 8, 2004 Share Posted November 8, 2004 Yeah, GC1 never actually explained officially what was happening with bed. I used to like the place, but found it started to get more pretentious towards the end and there were far too many people that wouldn't give you the time of day. I think a positive thing is that smaller clubs like Urban Gorilla have now taken off. It's good to see smaller clubs doing well and bringing new music into a scene that was getting dangerously stale. The same thing happened in Liverpool when Cream closed, a lot of smaller clubs took off which meant a greater variety of music and atmospheres in the city. I have found these newer clubs to have a far friendlier clientele. I think the scene overall is going back underground to its roots leading to the demise of super clubs.
