Angels, Burnley

Angels night club in Burnley had been in the town a long time before it rose to fame in the dance scene as one of the early rave venues hosting young up and coming DJs like Carl Cox.   After other clubs came to the fore the club faded away until it was knocked down.

Paul Murphy says:

The highlights of Angels, Burnley  were Marcus Kaye on a Tuesday around 87/88 playing acid, techno and house when it was a totally fresh commodity, whilst the rest of the town were listening to Bros, Wet Wet Wet, and Stock Aitkin and fucking Waterman! I remember Durks and Lisa, BJ (RIP), Mark Hadfield, Paul Hornsby, Patey...

Once 1991 had finished so had this club for music. Yes, it was packed each week but it was now a rave club and the music which had moved on from the early days was never present. The tops off and glow stick brigade had now taken over and the club was just a haven for anyone who wanted to get fucked. Taylor was king ...

All the big Salford kick offs really tarnished what was once a great venue and the whole place just became a den of despair without a shred of class, culture or imagination. The scene (the true house phenomena) had only ever graced the Angels in short spells. In truth, it was originally a Sharon and Tracey club in the 80's and remained so (other than the aforementioned Tuesday evenings with Marcus) until that brief spell in around 1990/91. Don't get me wrong, for that short while many of the original heads stopped travelling the country (we were in a different location each weekend) as the Angels really was amazing, but we were soon on the road again to Leeds, Coventry, Blackpool, Manchester, Stoke, Wolverhampton, etc etc etc.
