EDINBURGH Fridays

I Zappa Wilkie House. 11pm—3am. £2.50 (£2). Perhaps the ultimate student club- ‘strangely strange. oddly normal’. and boasting a playlist of60s and 70s stuff: Hendrix. Led Zepplin. Velvet Underground. The Doors. and em . . . Fleetwood Mac. Nothing to boast about. that last one.
I Marley: Shady Lady‘s. 10.30pm—3am. £2. Well. they said (myself included) that reggae was going to be THE sound ofthe summer. and whilst that reaction might just have been induced by the warm weather. there is no doubt that this genre is rapidly gaining the recognition which it deserves. This might just be the clubto convince the crowd that a slower tempo does no necstsarily equate with an empty dancefloor. although it is somewhat reliant on older. recognisable tracks— and an older. recognisable audience.
I Pure The Venue. l 1pm—4am. Members only. An interesting new concept designed to eliminate the undesirable element from the city club scene. Trot down to the Venue on a Friday evening. enterits cavernous depths by the side door. have your picture taken. fill in a membership form. and trot off home. Unless you are a part of the city‘s undesirable element. your photopass will drop through your letterbox during the following week. allowing you to get into said club that Friday.
- I Tangerine The Mission. llpm—3am. £2. Yet another indie club. Run by the lads from Katch — I suppose ifwe really have to have one more then it‘s just as well to be theirs. Promising old and new alternative music — whatever happened to the dance revolution. kids?
I Beatbox Teviot Row Union. 9pm—2am. (Students and guests only). The biggest and busiest of the city‘s student union discos. boasting huge attendance figures for their two Friday night clubs. All sorts of music. all sorts of people. Fine ifyou like that type oftbing.
