Cream at 30: How a Liverpool club night gained legendary status

It's been 30 years since a small underground club night emerged and became legendary in the Liverpool's club scene and beyond.

Started in 1992 by James Barton, Darren Hughes and Andy Carroll , Cream quickly became one of the most famous club nights in the UK and hosted thousands of clubbers every week. At the cutting edge of dance and electronic music in the 1990s and early 2000s, the weekly house music night first launched in October that year at the now demolished Nation nightclub in in Wolstenholme Square.

Within a year of opening, Cream's Saturday night offering was so successful that the organisers created a new late opening in the city centre called "Full On." Lasting until 6am, it soon became known as the Cream All-Nighter and ran regularly on the last Friday of every month.
