Cast your minds back 20 years and there was one nightspot in Newcastle which everyone knew - Baja Beach Club.
A journey over the swing bridge from Newcastle, Baja was a haven for all things cheesy music at a time when Hear'say were the biggest group in the country, Will Young was about to win Pop Idol and smoking was still very much allowed in indoor premises.
A stone's throw away from another iconic Tyneside rite of passage - The Boat - Baja was one of those haunts that had to be seen to be believed.
