Famous super club Quadrant Park formed by accident and introduced Merseyside to house music

A famous super club in Merseyside was formed by accident and introduced Liverpool to house music.

Quadrant Park opened in the late 80s in Bootle, but it was in 1990 it became more influential. In the beginning, it was primarily a mainstream nightclub playing chart music. But then it took off and the club started to establish itself as one of the UK's first "super clubs".

By mid-1990 the club was drawing crowds of up to 2,500. Also known as the Quad, or Quaddie, this Bootle nightclub on Derby Road at the time was said to be the UK's only legal all-night rave, because it didn’t sell alcohol.
