New Nightclub in Inverness - Soho Nightclub

[918loyal]

Well the name of the new club in Rose Street was released in the Courier on Friday, for those that didn't already know it's going to be called SOHO Nightclub.

Going to be open in a few weeks. I got a tour of it last week it's looking nae bad, nothing like Blue at all tho. The owners have spend in the region of 1/2 million quid doing the place up.  Capacity is 750 -ish.  A cut above the other 2 clubs in terms of the look and design.

Although the music is going to be commercial, which I think is a big mistake. They can spend as much money on it as they like but if it's going to be commercial music it really doesn't interest me!  Another place in Inverness doing the same thing, we don't need any more cheese!!

Although anything has to be better than Gs/Bakoo.

It will be open Thus-Sun, free entry Thu and Sun, £5 Fri and £7 Sat.

The problem in Inverness these days is not so much them playing "Commercial" music, it's the fact they don't have any decent DJ's who can carry it off.  I can't remember the last time I was out and I saw a DJ actually using a microphone to interact with the crowd.  "When I was a lad" and DJing, using the mic to gee the crowd up was half the job and made for far more fun evenings.  Maybe I should come out of retirement and show them all how it should be done  :015:

£7 on a saturday night.....??? JEEZ

You could get into a nightclub in Birmingham, that is twice the size with what would seem to be better DJ's for £2 less....

(granted mind you, the prices of drinks in the west midlands are rather steep. you're looking at £3.90 on average for drinks in Coventry and Birmingham.)

I completely agree, interacting with the crowd is half the fun, and you are right hardly any DJs in town do it becuase the majority of them are *****.  Although I have been told the new resident DJ, Steve Foster, is very good at that and he will be interacting with the crowd.  He is from England and the new club owners are flying him up EVERY weekend to DJ at the club...!
