Life at Bowlers 1992 - Hitman and Her
Вставка
- Опубліковано 31 жов 2014
- After the massive success of the Pleasuredrome in Farnworth, UK, 1991-92, the event moved to the 4000+ capacity venue in Trafford Park, Manchester known as Bowlers Exhibition Center.
The success seen at the Pleasuredrome was replicated at Bowlers with 4000+ people packing the massive warehouse style venue every Saturday night. Resident DJ's DJ Welly and Kenny Grogan plus special guests took the night to unparalleled levels, and once again, caught the attention of Granada TV and the cringe worthy show 'The Hitman and Her' came to film the madness.
Sometimes I miss that place, that era, and those people so badly I cry. Can honestly say, if god asked me what my choice of paradise would be, reliving those Saturday nights at bowlers for ever would be it. Since then I've had the great fortune of raising five kids and having some great times and I'm grateful, but nothing has compared to that time for making me feel I belonged.
I was lucky enough to work there and was in attendance at many events over the years, this evening included, it was definitely my life defining era...🙂🙂🙂
One of the few places i really wished I'd made it to, can still remember being blown away watching it on telly
47:10 dude with the white cap on back to front....that's me that is.
Crikey ! did well to pick yourself out in that fleeting glimpse ! 😅
@@stevebandit1964 I remember the cameraman appearing from behind me and putting the lens in my face....without thinking I just pushed it away hahaha
i was on hitman and her when life was at the drome in Farnworth. And visited Bowler many many times after. Good Job Welly and mas respect for the gig for STU.
Bowlers is the only club I've ever known you could go on your own if you wanted to
I used to get a taxi to Shelleys from Stafford if I got forced to do the late shift on a friday. Always knew there'd be about 300 people I knew in there, and by 2.30am that number would be up to 500+
Thanks for sharing proudly raving at 47, the best medicine :):) Loved Bowlers what a place and time.
So many great tunes in this! A seamless mix of rave, garage, piano and progressive house.
The Hit Man & Her was normally a bit hit and miss. I remember it as being mostly commercial; this and the Eclipse episode were exceptions to the rule. Personally, I think its successor BPM was a superior programme on the whole.
I remember staying up to watch this episode. I was about 14 or 15 years old, slightly too young to go out raving at the time but loved the music all the same. I have some great raving/clubbing memories from 95 onward but you can't beat the early 90s for musical quality imo.
Life @ Bowlers, great days.. @ DJ Welly, Thanks man. I was there that night :) It was a very cringe tv show yes, but to be fair.. the footage is now good to see.. Huge club, great atmosphere.. top DJ's ;)
Could drop any of these choons now an they still smash fuck out the dance floor in 2022... Now that's gold
This was recorded before I started going in 1993. Used to travel from Bradford every week for the greatest nights. Used to face the stage stood on the railings of a platform. Such good nights. Used to love it at the end when all the lights came on. Always ended on a massive tune!
We went on coach trips from next town on.... Halifax.... (Even thou Bradford a city but it ok lol) .... Wicked times man !!! I remember Boy George was dancing in crowd with us one night. ... Mad times.... Once me n my fella missed coach back, got a lift bk with 2 young farmer lads from Blackburn. . .they came in for a smoke n chill n sleep to sober up b4 the long drive bk to Blackburn. . So many funny stories they had about spiking cows with LSD n shit ... Yeah sorry animal rights folk... Not funny now I'm sensible grown up..... But it was at time.... How we all used to get home in one piece the states some of the drivers were in I don't know....but we did!!! .... Went to N old school reunion there a few year ago , b4 lockdown.... I need to go another soon!!!
Did u ever do Lingards in B'ford? Remember a mate saying they did rave, walked in n it was a cheesy 80s thing.... We thought " f this".... Then mate says " upstairs's!!".... Upstairs was the rave n it was a bit commercial but still an ok local nite. Also Tram Shed in Halifax?
Yeah mate was there a lot of Saturdays in 93! Brilliant! I was 16 ❤️👌
Dodgems, Bouncy Castle, Bar Fly and a Human Gyroscope Ride. Yes it was a fantastic night.
I remember going to Bowlers once. Got stopped by cops for speeding on way back. Four of us taken back to station. Car was given a half ass search in the bright garage whilst we were patted down alongside it. Unbelievably, we were left to go on out merry way.
92 till 94 was the best we went the weekend after watching this amazing time s
Been born late 80s I enviously missed the rave scene . Early to mid 90s before rave ended and sub genres took over...hearing set you free on dub plate must have been mental
Love bowlers my favourite venue...
Changed so much inside tho….
So many good memories of that place !!!
I really enjoyed this one, thanks for uploading it! Gotta say though, Michala and Pete should of passed the torch on at the beginning of the 90s. As much as I love them both, they visibly didn't get it beyond '89-ish.
Also my mum was on Hitman n her at Collosium , Halifax.... Commercial chart shite... She worked on bar n was on TV Dancing on bar in her 80s cocktail dress barmaid uniform lol
my mind has been corrupted by colours sounds and shapes, wouldn't change it for the world
DJ Welly in the mix.
Great memories.... Was there that night and on this vid! Always wanted to know what the track was called that kicks in at 35:00.. After 23 years i found out last week - Finitribe Forevergreen 'Justin Robertson instrumental remix' :-).
Your correct about this track it’s Amazing 👍
I was there that night and was asked to move away from Michaela because I was singing Lisa Lisa and the Cult Jam too loudly as she was doing a link to camera ! (And yes that is one of my claim to fames!! 😁)

Have to say those 92-93 years were so special with welly,grogan,vertigo etc….mc bibby …those big swirly moments with sunscreem or just hands in the air with Dina Carrols ain’t no man to the likes of Mukka (Neebro) and felix etc for the p.a….never had a bad night…met some top folks and rocked my tits off on the middle podiums most of the time…the memories fade a little but you don’t forget the feeling.
We were always on the middle podiums 93! 👌❤️
