Cherry Pie : Credit crunch friendly nightlife

Credit crunch friendly nightlife

This small article was written for MIXMAG dance magazine. They were looking for students to write about the local night life in their area and I entered my piece in hope it would be published in the magazine. Unfortunately it didn't make the cut. You can read it below.



CREDIT CRUNCH FRIENDLY NIGHTLIFE BY CHERRY PULLINGER

With an established live music scene, Southampton is working to create a buzzing hotspot for nightlife in the South.

Clubbers can find a not so wallet friendly nightout if they visit mainstream super club, Oceana, which provides a good night out, but who wants to spend their night standing next to the dancefloor because you aren’t allowed to take drinks on it?

Those looking for a cheap and messy night out will do well to visit Kaos nightclub, where Vodka & Mixers are just 90p on student nights. Although Kaos resembles a basement rather than a club, it caters to everyone’s tastes with a range of tunes played to a constantly packed dancefloor.

Making the most of your night means moving on to other clubs in the city. Alternative nightclub, Unit, will play indie kids their Razorlight tracks but not much else, while the more popular, Rhino, has rooms dedicated to Indie, Rock and Metal in a plush venue, growing in popularity due to their Lets Kill Disco student night.

Junk and Whitehouse may live up to their names – one being painted white and the other..well, you decide, - but they provide a chilled night out for R’n’B fans. Whitehouse provides a Shisha lounge for those who are so chilled out, they should have stayed at home.

Southampton’s successful nightlife shows, when clubs fill up by 11pm and people from surrounding cities visit for the clubbing experience. The city has successfully created a buzzing nightlife for those on a budget.
