Tokyo Jo's - the lost Lancashire superclub loved by students and celebrities where drinks were 'free till you pee'
A lost Lancashire 'superclub' loved by students and celebrities had everything from unforgettable to themed nights to offers on drinks that were "free till you pee".
"I was part of the management team as well as DJing three nights a week. We had a great team and we turned the whole place around and it went from being a mediocre but nice club into an actual superclub. "Tokyo Jo's was one of the first to have the show there. When we launched the RnB night, we had this track that I'd been playing for a coupe of months - it was Dreams by Gabrielle and it was a bootleg. We said I wonder if we could get her to launch our RnB night.
Dave said one of the things he loved the most about the venue was the design. He told Lancs Live: "It was a unique design on the different floors, the different levels and I think the lighting rig and the sound system was fantastic as well. "When I started there I was fairly upfront with my music. I'd come up from London and I was bringing in a lot of tunes to the people of Preston and elsewhere - but people would come from Manchester Liverpool, people would come from all over.
Brian Hudson 49, started behind the bar, a year after the club opened in August 1990. Originally working at another venue across the road, he first entered the superclub to ask for change and was immediately "wowed" by what he saw. Special guests Brian remembered included N-Trance, Steve Wright and the afternoon Posse, Jason Donovan, Peter Andre and PJ and Duncan. There were also drink offers loved by customers, from pound drinks to 50p a pint and more.
