It is 30 years since The Brunel Rooms in Swindon opened its doors and since then it has become the nightspot of choice for three generations of south west clubbers.

The Brunel Rooms started out as a live music venue in 1973 and attracted many top acts such as Blondie, Talking Heads and The Jam throughout the 70s.

In the 80s it evolved into a nightclub to accommodate the growth of dance music and since then, has never looked back.

The club's mix of varied events, regular visits from the cream of the DJ fraternity and a firm but fair door policy has kept the club head and shoulders above its nearest rivals.

Watch a Real Video clip of Points West reporter Steve Knibbs looking back on 30 years of The Brunel Rooms.

To celebrate its 30th anniversary, we are proud to present a gallery of images taken at the club over the years.

We also come bang up to date with shots of the likes of Westlife, Mis-Teeq and Sophie Ellis-Bextor visiting the club.
