Clockwork Club

Before I first went here, I had horrible pre-​conceived notions of the place. I’ve not long since been a student, and while I was I am afraid I was horrendously snooty (or maybe just lonely? Scared? Who knows?) I turned my nose up at all of the student haunts, thinking
1) that any place where you have to scream to be heard was surely a boring place to be.
2) that a venue that played music that you wouldn’t want to listen to at home would be tedious at best, uncomfortably alienating at worst.
How wrong I was.
The people weren’t scary, in fact they were very friendly (the smokers at least, but I guess it’s a bonding experience in the winter!) The music was actually danceable. And I can say with all honesty that this is the first time I’ve ever been comfortable and enjoyed myself in a club.
But maybe it’s because kid carpet was playing the first set? It’s much easier not to take your dance moves seriously if you’re rocking out to someone playing a childs toy electric guitar.
