Dingle's at The Shannon


Some mates and I blagged our way to membership at The Shannon which was opposite our school in Seven Kings. You had to be over 18 so we put stickers in our building society passbooks with fake DOBs on them - and they actually accepted it. I think we were even in school uniform at the time!

This would have been sometime in 1986. 

Enduring memories of Dingle's club nights...

Getting wrecked on Snakebite

Early house music - particularly Farley Jackmaster Funk's Love Can't Turn Around.

Over-zealous smoke machines

They used to play Sinatra's New York, New York at chucking out time.
