Party Nights
1985
They began to have theme parties; the first one was a Beach Party. “We covered the dance floor in tiny polystyrene beads, parked a sailing dinghy on the side of the beach, on the stage area in the concert room they put a three hundred weight of sand and had a sand castle building competition. We turned the heating up to 25 degrees C. Everyone was in swimming costumes; we sold ice creams”.
jinks summed it up “The Nightingale is the mother of the Birmingham Gay scene.”
