I want to breath new life into it - Blackpool DJ Jason Fubar teases about re-opening iconic 1990s venue
“This is where I was from 1993 -1997.”
For a generation of Blackpool clubbers, the empty room that Blackpool DJ Jason Fubar stands in once pulsed with the sounds of the 90s, pounding dance anthems, flashing lights and unforgettable nights out.
The vast space is strewn with old wiring and the remains of a stage - a ghost of its former self.
But hidden beneath the dust is a tantalising possibility of bringing one of the resort’s most iconic nightlife venues back.
Could new life be breathed into this forgotten 1990s place?
On his Facebook page, Jason, owner of Retro Lounge, is seen filming a nostalgic walk around, his memories come flooding back - along with an intriguing question.
Is it time to breath new life into the venue?
“There is this big abandoned space in Blackpool that used to be a nightclub and it’s sitting here gathering dust.
Pointing out the balcony and the little VIP bar at the back he says: “A lot of you will know what this place is.
“I know there is a bit of rubbish everywhere because they’ve taken the stage apart, there was a bit of a stage area, there’s the balcony all the way round - but could we breath new life into one of these venues again - what do you think?
“Is it worth maybe not calling it nightclub, maybe just an event space to use maybe once a month, twice a month, the Bank Holidays and the Halloweens and the New Year’s Eve, is it worth it?
“It needs a bit of money spending on it but the electrics are sound.
“This is where I was from 1993 -1997.”

He is talking about The Bizness, with Club Class upstairs, names guaranteed to stir memories of thousands of Blackpool revellers.
He spoke about how it later became Waterfront and when Syndicate came along and it sadly closed.
But soon Club Sanuk opened, then The Domain, but that was the last venue... or was it?
“Its waiting for someone with a spark and a bit of money, “said Jason.
“It’s an old forgotten space, a time capsule and could be very special again. Nightclubs are a thing of the past it would be an event space. Let me know what you think.
