The Sunderland 90s scene and what it meant to the people who loved it - relive it all with us
Wearsiders had plenty to say when we asked them to name ‘the first thing you think of when you think of Sunderland’s 90s scene’.
In a packed third episode of Sunderland 90s Nightlife - the new video series brought to you by the Sunderland Echo - we have memories galore.
Reliving the Sunderland 1990s vibe
And all of them come from the very people who lived and loved it all back in the day.
When it comes to the first thing you think of from the 90s, here’s what they had to say;
John Shaw, who was a DJ at Chambers, said: “For me, particularly the position I was in, I would say music.
“I don’t know anyone who lived through the 90s club scene in Sunderland and has experienced the nightlife and the scene now, who would not say that the 90s scene was better.’
Ku Club and the big stairs on a Saturday night
Bryn Hanson remembered ‘the innocence of it all and just going out and having a good time.”
While Julie Garland’s memories were of Ku Club ‘on a Friday and Saturday night and them great big stairs to get up. If you’d had a few, it was a bit of a problem.”
But to find out what all of our interviewees said, you’ll have to watch the episode in full and it is attached here.
Go Old Skool and watch our earlier episodes
And in the meantime, why not catch the first two episodes of Sunderland’s 90s Nightlife.
First up was episode 1 called Old Skool. Our interviewees discuss their memories of music back in the 1990s including what was popular, including Nirvana, rave, dance and trance, and what went down well in Sunderland’s nightclubs.
In the second episode, the very people who ran Idols and Annabels have spoken to the Sunderland Echo to share their memories - and there were lots of them!
