One of Paisley's best-known nights out has been given a second life. Club 69, the basement venue on New Sneddon Street known to generations of local clubbers as the Rave Cave, announced it would begin trading again under new management from Saturday 7 November.
The club had closed its doors on Saturday 10 October, when the previous management team decided to step away from what they described as a passion project. At the time, they left the door open for someone else to take it on, inviting anyone interested in continuing the club to get in touch.
A relaunch night with a secret headliner
Announcing the comeback on social media, the venue said: "The iconic Club 69 opens its doors once again!"
The relaunch was billed as an energy-fuelled night with special guests and a secret headliner, promising everything from GBX anthems to up-front happy hardcore and makina.
More than three decades of Paisley nightlife
The club traces its story back to its very first party in 1989 and has been a home for underground dance music in the town ever since, from its spot in a basement beneath a curry house on New Sneddon Street.
When the closure was announced in the summer, the outgoing team signed off hoping there would be "one more tune in the old Paisley Basement yet". It looks like they got their wish.
Club 69 is at 40 New Sneddon Street, Paisley, PA3 2AZ. Details of upcoming nights are posted on the club's social media pages.
