'Hedonistic' 1980s throwback club night in Nottingham turning 20

A Nottingham club night, billed as a "throwback to the hedonistic days of the 1980s", is set to turn 20 years old. Wildside, held monthly at Ye Old Salutation Inn, is believed to be city's longest running independent rock club night.

Running on the first Saturday of every month, the nights are full of glam and cheesy rock, and attract punters from all over the world. "It's glam, hair metal so think of Bon Jovi, Motley Crew, Aerosmith, big, hard, fun metal, big hair and spandex," describes its founder Al White.

"We're a throwback to the hedonistic days of the 1980s. Big power ballads and cheesy rock. It's the sort of stuff you used to hear in Rock City through the late '80s and '90s.
