Hype at Tin Tins
1993
"It progressed to Tin Tins and a night called 'Hype'. I'd meet up with a few friends, Paul had contacts so we'd walk straight in, we were a bit naughty in relation to substances, but everyone did, and I never overdid it.
"It was fab, it had two big cages where guys would always be dancing, dressed very scantily. There was a bar along the side and the staircase was in the middle. The room was packed and the music made it, it was fantastic, it was the kind of music I heard on pirate radio at home in Newport.
"The people were fab, people made the effort to dress up, it was my first visualisation of drag queens, everyone just let loose and enjoyed themselves."
