Assembly Classics Club Night

If ever there was a "ronseal" name for a club night then this really is it.
As it says on the Assembly web page this Saturday night event plays "Anthems from the 90's, 00's to the present day"
Ive already commented on what a fantastic venue the Assembly is for seeing bands but I wasn't too sure how it would hold up to a club night -mainly due to the very large open main hall and indeed the size of the dance floor itself but I shouldn't have worried. It proved to be an excellent way to spend a late Saturday Night.

As for the music it really was classic song after classic song. It all started off with some fantastic stuff from the "Brit pop" era. Guess I am showing my age here but really there were some great songs written during this period. Most importantly they provided the perfect back drop to having a few more beers and to allow the atmosphere to build up in the venue. The music then moved more along in to the "Anthems" a bit more of the dance style of music. It is important to realise that the emphasis remained on great tunes which would have got anyone up on the dance floor, It was really impressive to look around the venue and see loads of people of different ages and styles just looking like they were having a great time.

I am conscious with pubs now being able to open to 2am at least and with nearly all of them free entry that the on the door price of £8 may look steep. However it is worth noting that the advance cost is only £5 and perhaps most importantly the prices of the drinks are very reasonable (Far lower than most club prices and indeed lower than most the bars in Leamington!!)

The best demonstration of how good this club night is, is the fact they I can honestly say I have never been to a night where such a high proportion of the people in attendance were actually on the dance floor and indeed looking like they were having fun! Overall this is a top night out and the best late night venue in Leamington
