Save Shorditch, by onemandown72 on Mar 12, 2008 16:44:03 GMT 1, Great story about the Blue Note.Went on it's opening night on New years Eve in the mid 90's , think 1995. Paint was still wet on the walls, oversold tickets to the James Bond themed night, airconditioning packed in, mate fainted with a ยฃ20 note in her hand which someone nicked as she fell at the bar. Got smashed and left early as no-one could move or breathe. Was a fantastic night and at the time everyone was commenting on how much better the Blue Note was than the Base / Treble Clef.

Save Shorditch, by onemandown72 on Mar 12, 2008 17:28:07 GMT 1, Brought back another happy memory of dancing like a lunatic downstairs one Xmas, nto many people there, then climbing up onto one of the floor speakers, fallign asleep for 20 minutes before being woken up to leave by mates. Last time I was out on Hoxton Sq had a quick drink in Zeigfreid, and was chuckling at how much it had changed. Now rather than one bar ot fall out of there's a full square load. I also felt that it was more sociable and busier

Save Shorditch, by daley on Mar 13, 2008 11:54:17 GMT 1, I first heard of Hoxton from a schoolbook. The story inside was about this skinhead kid that carried a hammer and was a scrapper for West Ham. In the 80's Hoxton was always synonymous with the right wing, skinheads, poverty etc - this was especially the case with the music press.
I don't think it's a bad thing that the area in question is changing for the better. However, I too have heard about people like the Prodigy boys, for example, buying second and third homes in Hoxton square.
Turns my stomach a little too...

Obviously a good nose for the property market!!
Its great that the area has improved - but developers ideas and peoples needs are two different things it seems!
As for all the Vice magazine reading, trendy middle class types- they should get rid of all them to start with!!!
