Bum Club 1984 - 1985
Commercial Hotel, 301 High Street, Northcote


In late 1983 Dolores San Miguel asked Denise and Dave if they wanted to run a Tuesday night venue in Northcote, in a hotel recently taken over by the owner of the Exford Hotel. It ran from February 1984 to late January 1985, when it ended because of complaints from local residents.

(All information below is from Denise's diaries from 1984-1985)
