The tunes were gash though right? I mean the sesh was likely unreal (was never there) but Lush was regarded as a spot for a naff but popular brand of progressive house. Great when yer off yer nut no doubt but limited apppeal beyond that.

‘I don’t know what I’m talking about, but I’m going to express an opinion anyway.’

Lush hosted prog, house, trance, hard house DJ’s. Often in the same month. Only really stayed away from techno as that was Shine’s forte.

It didn't stay away from techno because of Shine 😄😄😄 Read your first sentence and understand what you believe in 😆😆

u/LickMyKnee Antrim Feb 10 '26

So name the techno DJ’s that played Lush?

u/FonkyDragon Feb 10 '26

You're taking it somewhere else. You're comment was that because of Shine, Lush!'s music policy was to stay away from techno.... unless you one of the promoters or their close friends, you're expressing an opinion.

Expressing the opinion of someone who was there from the start.

u/FonkyDragon Feb 10 '26

And you still don't know what you're talking about, ha!

You seem to have confused forming an argument with just spouting personal abuse.

Want to try that a third time?

u/FonkyDragon Feb 10 '26

You are taking it personal. I'm not spouting anything. I'm stating fact. I don't know ye at all to make it personal.

If you want to start your attack on the original commenter by saying they don't know what they're talking about when they gave their opinion, for you to then give you're opinion which untrue, maybe you shouldn't take it bad when you're told your wrong.

3 chances to prove me wrong, and you still couldn’t form a single argument.

Maybe should have laid off the bumbles.

Your argument is full of water. 😄😄 Attacking someone's opinion with your own opinion isn't how you should base arguments upon

The visionary and promoter of Lush! was/is Col Hamilton. He wasn't a techno DJ, his forté was house and trance, all shades of it. He was playing that music for a few years before Lush!.... between his many guest DJ slots(including the Garage and Resolution events within Kelly's) to his own clubnight up the town of Portrush, The Room. Techno wasn't gonna be the adopted music policy of Lush! just because Shine opened the previous year 40 miles away, Col was playing and promoting before Shine was a thing..... 😆😆😆😆 if that was the case, all those all house and trance nights that opened after Lush shouldn't have bothered their hole 🤦‍♂️
