Lost underground Manchester club with six dancefloors 'like Aliens movie lair'

A Manchester basement club which boasted a string of bars and six dancefloors has been described as looking like something out of the space horror movie, Aliens.

In the 1970s, extravagantly dressed clubbers would walk down stairs to the underground club in Fennel Street. Describing Pips in an interview with the MEN in 2017, ex-Stone Roses DJ Dave Booth said it looked like the set of the classic James Cameron movie.

Dave said: "It was like walking onto the set of James Cameron’s Aliens movie. It was like the lair from the end of that movie, with stalactites and caves hidden in corners. It was loved by a lot of people.”
