So we were trying to come up with good names for clubs over drinks tonight. My favourites: Snog; Coup D’etat; Veto. My favourite names of real clubs (regardless of actual quality)? Bed (Sheffield); Bungalow 8 (New York); Cream (Liverpool); Embargo (Singapore); Fabric (London); Pacha (Ibiza); Zouk (Singapore). Not that you need that great a name to be influential - the Paradise Garage is the mother club of lots of dance music, but as a name I would say it’s only above-average. But then, it did give its name to garage music… so what do I know? I think I could open a bar called Pushkin…
