Club I
Being of an innocent disposition, it was years until I realised that Club International was also the name of an artistic magazine. By that time, as though it too had realised, the Club had also changed to being called just 'Club' and also 'Club I'. There was no need for the subterfuge, though, since I reckon that sharing its name with that kind of publication drew a fair few punters through the doors. (Falmouth is, after all, a port)Whether they were disappointed when they got in, I don't know. I remember a fair few nights there queueing for ages on the stairs to get in, and it was usually livelier than Shades. That was in the days of a 1am closure, though, how the youth of today are spoilt with Remedies in the picture and out til 3! I think for a bit of salt of the earth Fakmouth, you can't beat a night in Club and unlike Shades it is huge enough to find yourself a corner that appeals to you and the DJ is a legend!
