Established in 1967 The Marisco is one of the longest running nightclubs in the U.K. it has seen many changes and been updated many times over the years and for a long time now has been well established as North Devons premier nightclub.
The relevance of its success is down to a number of things which make it unique. Being situated in woolacombe, an unspoiled beach town on one of the nicest stretches of coastline in the country, few other venues create that out of town no pretence atmosphere where no one really cares where youre from and who you know, people just come to listen to quality music and have a good time. Another key factor is always avoiding the mainstream pop music which most other clubs in the area play and sticking to the more cult, urban side of the music scene, wether it be the rock, punk, ska vibe of a Friday night, the hiphop & breaks night on a Thursday, the funk, soul, latin, jazz on a Wednesday or the rotation of diverse sounds on the Saturday nights which are all in place now, The Marisco has always been about what should be the most important thing for any nightclub, the music.
We've been doing what we do for 15 years now, without promoting out-side of the village for the first 8 years but still getting a full house each week with the resident DJs in full effect. In 2002 we emptied our copper banks and booked Mark Rae to come down and spin on our weekly Thursday Hip-Hop party called Cluster. Weve been booking guests weekly on a regular basis since and havent looked back.
The best thing about the club is that we're only open for 8 months a years so we get to bum around the globe surfing and exploring new places for a tidy winter break. Nice.

Emskee's visits to Woolacombe are all ways quality and we'd gladly build him a place at the back of the club if he wanted to stay. This video's a tune called "any rapper" from his group "the good poeple's" 3rd album"Long time coming" on revolution records in Japan. Support.
