Recent photos have revealed the eerie inside of a former Nottingham nightclub on Huntingdon Street that was better known as the Voodoo Lounge, the Lost Weekend and Babels to generations of Nottingham clubbers. The club, which was most recently known as Breeze, has been closed since 2012.
The club was proudly listed as playing US and UK records with adverts stating 'you can do it through until two in the Babel One Discoteque'. but patrons were warned to dress smartly with strictly 'no jeans'. It also claimed to be 'the best thing since James Brown'. The nightclub also ran some competitions which were a sign of the times such as Miss Bikini and Miss Great Britain in the mid-80s. But they were one of the first UK nightclubs to have a female bouncer on the door, although they appeared to still insist she wore heels.
Marie White remembers the gig: "I remember going to see Boy George at the Voodoo Lounge at the start of his DJing career in the mid-1990s. Great atmosphere, absolutely packed." Many visitors remember the club as being busy and recalled wearing UV body paint and furry leg warmers to dance. "Many of the gay scene went there because they felt safe there. They didn't want to go to NG1 but they came to Love Zoo and the House. We did a gay night at both and they were pretty successful as well as a night called Chocolate. We had big chocolate fountains where people could dip marshmallows and strawberries. It was a gimmick but it worked."
