Fever
Fever was a club on Gordon Street Aberdeen, just a small club behind the main street, upstairs to the toilets, then upstairs again to the club, small dancefloor, sometimes only 1 strobe, very hot and usually always very busy, Jacqui Morrison on the decks the Bang club was the place to be for the Aberdonian Acid House aficionado. With guest DJ’s from Graeme Park to Justin Robertson, Guest PA’s from Nomad and others the club was a hot bed of activity every week.
I remember going to the 2nd Birthday party, que’s of people outside the door all waiting to get in, seeing Bruce on the door and hearing the cry ‘regulars only’ and then strolling in past the crowds – the feeling was amazing.
Departing sometimes to go use Wimpy – either for use of the toilet or for a milkshake – we must have looked like aliens to the normal folks having a burger late on a Saturday night.
When the club would finish with everyone milling about outside trying to find out who was having a party – sometimes it was me and throngs of people would walk and dance down crown street to my flat.
I met many friends at Fever – some of which have been forgotten over time, others are still my friends, others i may have declared my undying love for have never been seen again – even if i could remember what they looked like or even a name.
When Fever closed it was gut wrenching - that last night was crazy – my weekends had been ruined The Bang on nights were resurrected down at the beach but the feeling had gone – as good as other clubs were that we started to use afterwards none came close to that feelings i had at Fever.
I still have my Bang club t shirt, Fever does have a facebook page but it is not really used by many which is a shame considering how loved the place was, but people move on.
20 years have passed and i can still hear a track and be right back on that dancefloor listening to Jacqui on the decks.
Do you remember Fever?
