A Nottingham club night, billed as a "throwback to the hedonistic days of the 1980s", is set to turn 20 years old. Wildside, held monthly at Ye Old Salutation Inn, is believed to be city's longest running independent rock club night.
"We're a throwback to the hedonistic days of the 1980s. Big power ballads and cheesy rock. It's the sort of stuff you used to hear in Rock City through the late '80s and '90s."We have people travel from all over the country and even from abroad. People have flown over from Spain, Sweden and even from America just to come to Wildside."
"I went round and looked where a venue could be and I found Spiders which had just opened at the time on Pelham Street and asked if I could have a club night. It was a super popular night and it carried on from there and got bigger and bigger. Twenty years later I'm still going and we're bigger than ever."
