Life After Dark: A History of British Nightclubs & Music Venues
British Nightclubs & Music Venues - Book - by Dave Haslam
(2016)
Nightclubs and music venues are often the source of a lifetime's music
taste, best friends and vivid memories. They can define a town, a city
or a generation, and breed scenes and bands that change music history.
In Life After Dark Dave Haslam reveals and celebrates a
definitive history of significant venues and great nights out. Writing
with passion and authority, he takes us from vice-ridden Victorian dance
halls to acid house and beyond; through the jazz decades of luxurious
ballrooms to mods in basement dives and the venues that nurtured the
Beatles, the Stones, Northern Soul and the Sex Pistols; from psychedelic
light shows to high street discos; from the Roxy to the Hacienda; from
the Krays to the Slits; and from reggae sound systems to rave nights in
Stoke.
In a journey to dozens of towns and cities, taking in
hundreds of unforgettable stories on the way, Haslam explores the
sleaziness, the changing fashions, the moral panics and the cultural and
commercial history of nightlife. He interviews clubbers and venue
owners, as well as DJs and musicians; he meets one of the gangsters who
nearly destroyed Manchester's nightlife and discusses Goth clubs in
Leeds with David Peace.
