As far as i'm concerned, 20 years ago this place was one of the wonders of the world - or rather a wonderfully different world. By cleverly exploiting a loophole in the licensing laws at a time when all the establishment wanted to do was shut us down, Eclipse became the first ever 'legal' all night rave.
Every weekend thrill seekers from all over the country would converge on this unique night held in an ex bingo hall, complete with balcony and a raised DJ box. The laser show even by todays standards was breathtaking, and the 25k turbo sound system was graced by the finest of the time, the most notable probably being Sasha followed by the likes of Stu Allan, Grooverider etc.
Our wee jaunts generally consisted of a transit type van filled with matress, quilts, sounds and other 'creature comforts'....it took forever to get there but the journeys there and back are some of the funniest experiences in my life.....if I had the chance to do it all again I would gladly travel double the distance to get there.......it was just that good......
