It was known by numerous names until its demolition
It's now been over 30 years since a troubled nightclub where Saturday nights were "always a big one" opened in Liverpool city centre.
But the club - and the latter businesses that followed - wasn't without its troubles. In its time, the site itself was at centre of a number of incidents surrounding violence, drug taking and certain licences being revoked. At the time, Geoff Fallows said: "This site was derelict for two years and has taken a lot of work and money to redevelop. We were keen to invest in Liverpool once again and we believe it will add another dimension to nightlife in the city centre."Buzz DJ and promotions manager John Cotton explained that the plush 1,000-capacity club offered a 127-space attended car park and that a 15-kilowatt sound system had been installed together with lights at a cost of £350,000.
"Unfortunately, the club was full to its legal capacity and we had no other choice but to look the doors. We hope this did not spoil your weekend too much and look forward to seeing you this weekend." "The Buzz Club, in Skelhorne Street, played host to the Best of British all-nighters and The Radio City Thursday nights. It was never taken as seriously as the other clubs in Liverpool."
These included a catalogue of violent incidents and drug taking, as well as different licenses being revoked. In 2001, arsonists caused thousands of pounds worth of damage to the Pulse nightclub, and 30 firefighters battled through the night to contain the flames.
