"It was this crazy club from the A24 - One of The Most unlikely places in The World ," says the House -Music legend and. "It was in The Middle of nowhere. There was no Uber, no cabins, no internet, and the line-up was "London".

"you saw this manor-House - it was the only place That had three floors, when all the other Nightclubs was. You went and everyone was crazy. She went down the stairs, and they were crazy. She went underground and it was just wrong. "

But the parties on the lining, which operated from 1990 to 1993, were legally issued in the framework of a public entertainment licence from Worthing Borough Council. The official cut-off Time Was 03:00 But The Music often carried out until 06:00, under which former employees of The Club describe as a "gentleman's agreement".

While it was licensed as a members-only club, the exclusivity seemed to be elastic. Mensa -girlfriend Rachel Jones, held a hand-written list of the members That reminds you, crowned with about 12,000 names.

"I was 19 and it was phenomenal. We traveled, we have events in other cities, we lived a good life.

He describes it as a "real, creative hub", where The Best of the week, The Music was recorded at The Farm studio.

Mensa prided himself on playing the latest club Music to listen to regularly travel with Rachel to London pirate radio and recording Music on cassettes to go home, because the reception on the South Coast was not so bad. The Club DJs regularly accepted white labels from those in The Crowd , in the hope That their work played exclusively.

Former feed-Sound Engineer Simon Scutt says helped "fresh from the record player", to spread the word about The Club .

"He was very clever, very clever. It took a huge amount of energy. He would be thousands of miles. He spread The Music as far away as Scotland and Abroad - and, The Music was just to listen to the feed. "
