Bamboo. Glasgow
‘I just think. with clubbing. a lot of people forgot what it was about in the beginning,’ says promoter Geoff Montford. ‘When I DJ in the red room. it's like I'm putting on a party and everyone's invited. There's no music snobbery. I try to recreate why I fell in love with clubbing when I was 18 or 19.‘ Successful and accessible rather than mainstream, Bamboo is all about having a good time. pure and simple. It puts a hell of a lot of work into making sure that, when you come through its doors, you are in the kind of environment in which good times happen.
It's approaching its first birthday in November. and you can reSt assured that the weekend of its anniversary will be one of the busiest yet. Joey Negro is set to play alongside the several genius residents who have kept the crowds coming week in. week out over the past 12
months.
The place is crowded with beautiful people every week, and it‘s got all the bases covered musically. from the most fat-assed R&B. to the most crowd-pleasing. classy funky house and the slammingest indie and rock. Montford explains why the concept has worked so well: ‘We were aggressive with our PR in the beginning, because we knew that we were offering something attractive. The club filled the hole left by the superclub. It's an interesting. intimate. attractive space. Bamboo came along at the right time, and the people appreciate that.‘ People talk with their feet and the popularity of Bamboo is its most emphatic endorsement. (Johnny Regan).
