GLASGOW Fridays
I Crash at the Cotton Club. 11pm-3.30am. £4 (£3 with ticket.£2 before midnight). Unpretentious (apart from some ofthe punters). long-running and well-respected indie crossover/dance/groove night with a loyal crowd.

Sixties rock merging surprisingly well with 90s rave. with the odd dance record thrown in too. I Bumble at Joe Paparazzi. 11pm—3.30am. £3.50 (£1 .50student). The only problem with Rumble is that it'sso dark. so big and so popular that ifyou're hoping to see friends there you really have to arrange it well in advance. Personally. I
