and btw, until about 1990, the seediest thing about Fort St. was Rock 'n' Roll Records (just joking, Kerry!)

Is that the record shop that had the little room off to the side with second hand clothing as well as new young up and coming designers?

Is there a connection to Strangely Normal, was that there first shop?

Hi Russell & Simon.

But I'm slightly wondering if that's actually at Quays ...

Zanzibar used to be the Hungry Leopard Restaurant in the early days, hence the leopard print seating that you can see behind Billy Idol. My friend Mitch (RIP) went up and asked Billy for his autograh and took a couple of photos, everyone else sat around and acted like we didn't know he was even in the club. Kim Dale-Taylor the Black Mohawked waitress took his order for drinks and said he was an obnoxious little shit, although its sounding more like he was just off his face. I've got more shots of Zanzibar, the dance floor, Tom Sampson holding a can of what looks like a Fosters, the bar staff, Roger Perry before he became a DJ, the boys Toilets which had a picture of a cowboy on the door with a lassoo, funny stuff.

Quays from memory was pretty stark, lots of dark wood and white walls, big long bar one end and a white DJ booth in one corner, mirrors along the dance floor wall, it was boring in comparison to Zanzibar. xx
