Who remembers Showbar on Bournemouth’s Pier?
Revellers got to dance at club nights to house, hardcore and more.
But the venue also regularly put on discos and bands - even Country and Western performers.
Among the many events to be held at the venue were Bump ‘n’ Hustle, Maison Profonde, Big Beat Breakdown, Funkdom and Cheeky Little Monkey.
Big-name DJs visited the club through the years such as Slipmat, Madam Zu and Chris C.
The final night before the Showbar became Aruba was the regular Jazz Juice, an evening for 70s funk enthusiasts that carried on well beyond Showbar’s lifetime.
These pictures were taken at various events at the club through the years.
More pictures from Showbar coming soon!
