YUSU have chosen to drop Club Salvation from its official club night schedule, with new club Kuda taking over the Tuesday night slot.
Tokyo will continue as YUSU’s official Thursday night venue whilst Vodka Revolution will also retain its Sunday night slot.
YUSU’s decision to give Kuda, formerly student favourite Gallery, the Tuesday night spot came after “a forensic tendering process, combining student feedback along with genuinely impressive presentations from all of the clubs who took part.”
“The introduction of the brand new Kuda sees the former Gallery back on the forefront of York’s nightlife after a refurbishment involving a million pound re-fit. Poised to be one of the best nightclubs in Yorkshire, our students would be missing out if we were to pass up this fantastic opportunity.”
YUSU described Tokyo’s official Thursday nights as a “welcome main-stay”, praising their “variation of events and use of the venue, combined with a very much ‘in touch’ promotions team and staff”, whilst the “promise great acts throughout the coming year as well as offering Guest List entry through a newly developed app” means that Revolution’s ‘Rich and Famous’ club night will once again run on Sundays.
YUSU also stressed the importance of student welfare in their choice of venues for the year’s official nights: “Aside from the venues themselves, we’re very much reassured by the management teams behind each of clubs and their commitments not just to having memorable nights, but also to our students’ safety and general welfare.”
Not too impressed by this. Salvation was probably the best night last year if i’m honest. Tokyo was generally a little bit quiet coming after salvo/ziggys and I just find the whole Rich and Famous thing crap, especially the way people line up to have there photos taken as if actually are VIPs.
Better would have been Salvation Tokyo and then this Kuda place. SNG was always one of the top 2 nights anyway, dont know why it was ever dropped in the first place (although was it unofficial anyway?)
I couldn’t be more thrilled! I always found Tuesdays to be the worst night of the week; Salvation could never compare to Tokyo. We still have Tokyo, Revs is always fun and something different (less ‘clubby’) and now we get to replace borevo with the new Gallery :D
Why couldn’t we have all four? Dropping Salvo, though not a club I was a fan of really, seems a bit strange considering it was arguably York’s most popular ‘club’ and best venue. Tokyo is basically only for first years. I haven’t met many 2nd/3rd yrs who go their anymore. And Revs is a bar, however busy it gets… If we could have a Fibbers Monday we surely could have a Salvo one!
Come to Leeeeeeeds for clubbing, at least one day or weekend a term.
Interesting. Looks like Marc’s schmoozing of Kallum didn’t really pay off in the end. He even endorsed him in the race for President! Must be gutted.
Ziggy’s was grim. You have to be drunk or in fancy dress or both in order to enjoy it. I haven’t been clubbing in all year.
I can’t keep up with the name changes, Ziggy’s, Gallery and ‘kuda’ are all the same to me.
Marc left Salvation during last term, so he probably isn’t too bothered!
I’d have got rid of tokyo, seriously lame club
HA! Take that Marc ‘Shark’ Lawrence
SUNDAY: Vodka Revolution vs Willow
MONDAY: Chubby’s Kebab House
TUESDAY: Pimms & Lemonade in the quiet place
WEDNESDAY: Hull Road House Party
THURSDAY: Jacks Tapas Bar
York has nothing on Leeds for a night out. The clubs are in a different league over there. The music is always better and quite often they have big name DJs. The clubs also stay open way later. Anyone who likes proper club music (House, Trance, Dubstep, Drum and Bass, Techno, Breakbeat, etc), Leeds has it all.
@Never Willow, I have self respect.
Anyone who likes proper music, goes to Willow.
What ever happened to Toffs Tuesday, Ziggys Wednesday and Gallery Thursday AND Sunday?
Its starting to sink in that I left uni quite a while ago!
Its all about Disco Willow though!
hahaha, “Poised to be one of the best nightclubs in Yorkshire”
Whoever wrote this has clearly never spent any time on the leeds or sheffield clubbing scene.
It’d take a great many things to convince me to even consider going clubbing in york, firstly proper club music inplace of mainstream pop crap.
If it can’t stay open until 6AM, if it doesn’t have major acts every event and if the sound system doesn’t make the ground move it doesn’t hold a candle to your typical leeds/sheffield night out.
…I’ll only be satisfied when they realise that Mr. Brightside and the Fresh Prince of Bel Air theme tune aren’t a novelty and are actually really annoying to hear in a club.
to be honest i just wanna just get creepy, dont care in what venue. bring on the drunken hands.
