Edin urgh: Club Java
— We came here two weeks ago to see Joseph Malik. That's the only reason we came here.
— It used to be a shit club called The Citadel . . . full of schemies . . . it was fucking rubbish.
- Joseph Malik's stuck his neck out, and he's got a good night here: good music, good crowd.
- The music’s extremely mellow.
— I'm very disappointed it’s not as busy — stick that in your paper!
— It was really busy two weeks ago.
— It's because it's my birthday and not Kate’s!
— It's so far out and it’s only open till two
— that‘s why it’s quieter.
- Can I ask you a few questions?
— People just don't travel, and it's such an amazing building.
- This place is great!
— People in Edinburgh are just lazy.
your Latin fix might want to try to haggle on the door price (don’t say we put you up to it though).
