Glitterball Glory Days: Remembering the nightclubs of yesteryear

Nightclubs have been closing across Tayside and Fife over the last few years as the heyday of large dancing venues dies out.

Starting on Tuesday our Glitterball Glory Days series looks back at the legendary clubs of the 70s, 80s, 90s and noughties.

We hear from industry experts on how changing tastes have affected Courier Country clubbing and talk to the party spot owners who have been forced to diversify their business.

Delving into our photo archive, we bring you an array of forgotten snaps from the favourite venues of yesteryear, including Flicks, the Coconut Grove, Barracuda, Jackie O’s, the Mardi Gras and many more.

Our Rocktalk guru Alan Wilson gives his personal rundown of the Dundee scene from the late 1960s up to the present day.

And we catch up with the local nightclub promoter who was instrumental in bringing the Northern Soul genre to the area.
