Hiya Gorgeous x.
WHQ is fundamentally different to every other club in Newcastle. True value for money & positive vibes is what we're all about. We feel dancing, making new friends & having fun are legitimate spiritual pastimes.Here's a little bit about us. To see more, check the weblink above & thanks for being our new friend.
Weekends we play mainly black music, Hip-Hop, Soul, Rare groove, etc & we also feature other bomb artists like Madonna or anyone else who has made a good tune. The music is super varied but it's all fab, or it simply doesn't get on. We want to expose as much diverse music as possible, so midweek we hire out for independent club nights and also promote big shows by international DJ superstars at affordable prices. It's an intimate little club, where you really do get to see your favourite Dj live & right up close.We have elaborate ladies facilities, drinks at fair prices (Double vodkas & gins for a £1.00) & a groove you don't get anywhere else.
We're completely independently owned, so we only answer to ourselves & our friends. We are nearly 14 years old, having existed on Marlborough Crescent from 1993 - 2003 & then moving to Curtis Mayfield House (yes we named it ourselves) on Carliol Square, behind the old Fire Station at the bottom of Pilgrim Street, where we promote our friendly groove today. Aside from all this,throughout the 80s, we were involved with a load of clubs covering Northern England & Scotland the best of which were the Thursdays we used to do at a club called Rockshots which foreran all the scenes you see in the City today. We also had a class stint at the Middlesbrough Arena on a Friday in the mid 90s.
WHQ is a people thing & unlike other clubs, we don't rely on flashing lights, smoke machines, footballers wives & overpriced hype to build an 'image'. We consciously don't play stuff that's just stupid (ie 50 cent, his ludicrous pimp chums & their crack / gun / bling / bentley / bitch / negative stance) or any other MTV-type fashion thing, which pretends to 'keep it real', when all they actually do is keep it real slavery.
There's no doubt that we offer the best value for money that your club dollar buys in Newcastle. Midweek shows we promote are usually between £5 & £6. Tickets for all midweek WHQ shows are available from The Trent House, Rpm Records, Steel Wheels & Kitsch'n. Also if you come before 11.30 on a Friday Night you get in for a fiver. We open until 3.30am each weekend with a full bar. We've always thought that even if nobody came, we would still do it, so it's lucky for us that people do!
E-mail us on [email protected] with your details (name, address, d.o.b etc) & we'll send you a membership card & a couple of free passes out in the post, so you can check us out this weekend for yourself & bring your best pal.
