Vague club, Leeds

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Vague at the Warehouse club in Leeds (circa 1993–1995) was a night originated Suzy Mason and Paul Fryer in association with Nick Raphael, who left to pursue a career in the music business. The resident disk jockeys were Trannies With Attitude.

The club promoted itself as being mixed heterosexual, bisexual, and homosexual. The atmosphere inside was one of tolerance, hedonism, and sexuality. It played a mixture of handbag house, hard house and hard trance music, with a more eclectic selection of music upstairs.

Madame Jo-Jo (who later became a DJ/Presenter at Kiss FM in Leeds) was on the door, and Mad James inside. The promoters managed to persuade many celebrities to attend, including the actress who played Vera Duckworth in the television soap Coronation Street and Mark Owen of Take That. The club ran from 1993-1996 and is credited with being the first club night to advertise itself as mixed (for gay and straight people equally) in the UK.
