| Profile : Huw Green | Huw Green lives in Nottingham and loves the burgeoning Drum and Bass scene as well as Selectadisc and the Broadway cinema. In addition to attending as many gigs as possible, he likes to keep an eye on the weird and wacky around the city. He enjoys windsurfing and goes to Rutland water to catch a breeze whenever there is enough time. When he grows up, Huw wants to be Donald Sutherland in M.A.S.H. |
The Social is part of a breed of bars that has its toilets hidden away at the back of the building, an adventurous stair climb away from the ground floor. Unlike its sister clubs Rock City and The Rescue Rooms, the principle that rock and roll rules supreme has not led to the sacrificing of basic comforts. The room isn't painted black, in fact it has several concerted efforts toward a pointed decorative style: bright lighting, pastel colours and the mirror broken into individual squares. | "I'm looking for a female to review Nottinghamshire's ladies loos.

This is the club loo for music fans who want a bit more than graffitied squalor and trails of soggy paper. Stylish indie trend setters drift in and out of the room in front of the glittering mirror and sleek fittings. The live music wafts into the room from the venue next door in pulsating waves.

There are more slightly wacky haircuts than you can count and Converse All Stars rule the day. If you want to feel like you are in the heart of the city's musical hub then you could do worse than perch yourself on the sinks and allow yourself to be seduced by the range of sounds you are likely to encounter here. An entirely individual venue and much more than just a bar, the Social is the kind of place that you are likely to bump into one of the members of that night's band. Indeed the location is such (right behind the venue space) that it probably acts as a kind of backstage area. The open toilets are just the place to duck out of the party and discreetly grab an autograph, critique the band or just discuss music. |
