    Very popular gay club that moved from Camp Hill to Witton Lane in Aston before moving to Thorp Street in 1981. Many acts popular with the gay community appeared here, including:

    Quentin Crisp (on the opening night)
    Lily Savage
    Man 2 Man
    Mel & Kim
    & many, many more.

    The clubs resident DJ during the 80s/90s was the highly regarded Tony De Vit.

    In 1994 the venue moved from Thorp Street & can now be found a few streets up in Kent Street
