The Boiler Club, presents" Unsigned Heroes

I'd like to meet:

PART 2 Pete and I first had the idea of starting a club night called the Boiler Club way back in the dark days of Thatcher’s Britain. I was DJing around Northampton and Pete was running a club night called The Paradise Club. It was due to a chance meeting and sharing the same ethos and politics that Pete and myself would take a chance by hosting a club night at a wine bar in Bridge Street, Northampton. We quickly hit on a formula of mixing funk, punk, soul and r&b to a crowd who were more than willing to show their appreciation. We both wanted to create a club where people could go and have fun and dance to lots of different types of music and we really wanted to support a policy of a free entry. (Moneys to tight to mention) After our residency at 40 Bridge Street finished we searched for other locations around Northampton and we found a diverse range of venues which all proved to be successful club and dance nights. In late 2006 we took up the challenge to reform The Boiler Club which then encouraged us both to look for a suitable venue and location so we could start a Friday Night residency reproducing the sounds of funk, punk, soul, reggae and good ole rock and roll
