Simon has delivered an exceptional ‘A History of Lush!, Portrush 1997-2002’ Mix. This is Part Two of the Mix, with Part 1 appearing a few weeks ago with Podcast #018.
Kelly’s Complex in Portrush on Northern Ireland’s north coast is home to Lush! Nightclub. Setting the standard for clubbing in Northern Ireland since 1995 it has attracted some of the world’s top DJs and hosts regular BBC Radio 1 dance events.
