The Pav, Matlock Bath
Legendary shitehole of a club in the heart of Derbyshire (rumour has it that it was voted 2nd/3rd worst nightclub in the country a few years back), luckily closed now.

Here are just a few facts* about the place in which I spent most of my Fridays during GCSEs/AS-Levels:

-The place routinely let in underagers (which was great for me), and the times when they got a bit strict with ID were some of their worst nights.

-The 'DJ' was called Jez Revell, a fat, permatanned, peroxide-blonde-highlighted haired imbecile with only one genre of music seemingly known to him; cheesy. Apparently he also used to take drunk underage guys home and try and have his wicked way with them too.

-They had the classic boxing machine where pissed-up chavs would compete with each other for the highest scores without having to resort to lamping each other.

-The aformentioned 'DJ' also had(has?) his own promotion company that bought such 'stars' as that twat from Hollyoaks, that twat from Emmerdale, and that singing twat from Coronation Street to the club 'FOR ONE NIGHT ONLY'. I don't remember much about the singing guy due to too many happyhappy love pills.

-The decline of the place began when a couple of out of town folks got knifed there at a private party, and when the neighbours(valley-dwellers) started complaining about the noise.

-So in a flurry of court hearings, the place was eventually shut sometime last year. The owners opened another club just down the road which lasted all of six months, closing down because of (surprise surprise) flouting licensing laws every night.

Apologies for lack of real funnehs, these are just good memories!
