Really sad. He did so much much for the Leicester music scene. Christ, some of the bands that played there…..

RIP Andy Wright.. went to countless shows there over the years and played a few myself: my first gig was at the Charlotte when I was a young teen.. almost got booted for being underage haha.. thanks Andy

Only just seen this, very sad indeed. Charlotte was a great venue, played there a few times myself as well as seeing some great bands.

Turns out it was 89 our first gig there, supporting Rev Head who were a great bunch.

Anyone used to go to Fan Club in Leicester? No idea if it’s still there, I moved to Scotland 15 years ago. Shitty, dirty indie club? I used to go there around 2000.

This never went quite as big as it deserved to

Yeah, went quite a bit during my most active “going out” days, around 2006-2010. Fan club, Mosh and places like the Shed was my kind of music. Zanzibar, Liquid etc were awful and always full of twats.

 

Pretty sure it’s still there, which is surprising. Would love to go back when I’m next up TBF.

Maybe we should have a Foxestalk Fan Club takeover haha. I only went between 1999-2002. Saw quite a few bands in the Shed too.

It is VERY different there post covid.

Seems to have dropped off a bit since the Cookie changed to a more comedy focused venue.

[SemperEadem]

The Athena seems some what of a wasted building.
